I'm delighted that @sgsah is going to be funding an internship at @natlibscot looking at one of our "hidden collections" of US politics material!!
It's open to any 2nd/3rd year PhDs in Scotland (no need to be SGSAH-funded)- closing date 15th Nov!😊

Really excited to be able to share more about Reading the Room and launch our X and Instagram accounts - give us a follow for all things #libraries #bookhistory
Reading the Room is a new John Fell funded project @UniofOxford exploring what it means to engage with books in a heritage setting, models of interpretation + engagement in libraries & complicating understandings of heritage libraries. english.web.ox.ac.uk/reading…
