I need to say how impressed I am with #thenationalarchives. I asked TNA a very technical conservation-related question yesterday and at 5.30 they came back with an amazingly thorough and helpful reply. Absolute top quality stuff and thank you @hannahkj.bsky.social for making it happen

Happy 4th July to any American followers. A few years ago I was lucky enough to be allowed to hold one of the UK's Declaration of Independence in my hands at #TheNationalArchives. Such a privilege.

If you are near enough to visit #theNationalArchives and are looking for cases of parish support, try the Poor Law Commissioners Correspondence volumes. They hold a world of information! The switchover from #OldPoorLaw to #NewPoorLaw caused a lot of confusion.1/

Final day of three at #TheNationalArchives today. So far days one and two have been about WW1 and our time in Independent Force. Today we move post war, to the 1920s and investigations into a possible link with the development of radar in the late 1920s.

Radio chums who are much more knowledgeable than I on such matters, I seek your help. I'm at #TheNationalArchives and have a document relating to Orfordness Rotating Beacon. Does this sound like an early version of radar to you?

Not many years have gone by in the last 35 that I haven't seen Galaxie 500, or an ex-member of Galaxie 500, on a stage, but 2024 has been one of those years ... although I did have an ex-member of Galaxie 500 come and visit me at work this year :)
