1/ Start your week w/ always compelling @kawulf reflections on family history, here in the context of fascinating new books by @KateGibson22 and Amy Harris - or what I would call what often seems the margins but were in fact at the center.

It was a pleasure and a privilege to be involved in a small way and share my research on the long history of kinship care for the Kinship Care Notebook - congrats @kinshipca, @ArtMattersNowUK, and the kinship families involved, it looks great!
We are excitedly launching our kinship care book which was a collaboration between @ArtMattersNowUK and our kinship families. We are extremely grateful to the @HeritageFundUK for making it possible. Click on the link for a virtual tour of our book!

A lovely write-up of the care history conference we held back in March -
'it’s important for this knowledge to be shared especially across countries. It provides a greater context and through shared learning it can help improve care for the future.'
Thanks @MarissaRoxburgh!

New blog! @HistParl database was really useful for my work measuring stigma towards illegitimate children in the 18th C - turns out lots of MPs and aristos had illegitimate families whilst presiding over laws excluding them from power and privilege 👀
In this blog, Kate Gibson explores how children born outside of marriage have faced considerable stigma, and social and economic disadvantage, enshrined in law, during the 18th century👇 @KateGibson22 ow.ly/RQNi50PHvgg

I know this is a long shot, but our much-loved indoor cat Rosie escaped overnight in S11 #Sheffield & is lost. If people who have local contacts could please share this as widely as possible, I would be so grateful. Any sightings (or a capture) would be incredible. @HelpSheffield
