I've been working on this the last few months and it's exciting to now have the archive onsite. The next (quite large) job is for it to be catalogued 📦📝📃✏

Great news from Uni of Sheffield Special Collections - the MRC's catalogue of the main NUM archive should also be completed by early 2026, so there will be a lot of 'new' #MiningHistory sources coming out in the next few years

I've resisted commenting on the fire and demolition of the Crooked House but this is all very suspicious and I think a public enquiry is the right next step. Please do sign this petition if you agree. change.org/p/a-proper-inq…

Some key takeaways from Jayne Brady's keynote: 📚"The importance of archives is often demonstrated by their absence.” 🤝"The custodians of our collective memory…Never underestimate the influence you have and you can really make a difference in the communities you serve.”

The view across Abercromby Square this morning was pretty nice - it was filled with snowmen and snowanimals by the time I left! ☃️

Very pleased that our article is out: "Researching Latin America in Liverpool" (Richard Smith (he/him) 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺). We focus on local archival collections & community engagement on solidarity activism, human rights and music in Chile and Central America in the 1970s-90s.
