End of PhD panic!!! Does anyone know of anyone who has written about family networks when it comes to welfare philanthropy. I seem to have written about social inheritance but no idea where it was from #Philanthropy #WomensHistory #History

At that point of my PhD where I’m reading through stuff that I wrote 3 years ago and making notes like “what does that even mean???” #PhdChat

Hey! Does anyone have a short video about local history that's around 6ish minutes long that is suitable for year 8/9. I usually use one from the National Archives but I'm a bit bored of that one now

I've just spent an hour looking for a newspaper article that I'd actually got the transcript printed out and sitting right in front of me. How's your day going? #WritingUp #LocalHistory #PhDChat

One day I'm going to make a note of rabbit holes I go down. Today's has taken me from Kingsthorpe in Northampton to Bethnal Green and lead me to reading about the Bethnal Green Tube Disaster. Absolutely nothing to do with my research but that's where I ended up #WritingUp

Managed to get a bit of work done today (which is rare for half term). Only a couple of hundred words but did get some referencing sorted. I think that's an achievement

Do any other historians get frustrated when an number of articles quote the same stats over and over but never say where the information came from?? #LocalHistory #WritingUp #PhDChat #Historians

My bus turns up late every day. Not massively. About 5 minutes and you can literally set your watch by it (don’t know why they don’t retime it). A woman at the bus stop today was moaning that it hadn’t turned up. I told her it’s always late. She was still moaning when it turned up at the time I said

Historian peeps!! Can you recommend any local history websites that have free to access resources. I'm creating a list for a group of year 9s so needs to have no subscription. #LocalHistory
