In June, Dr Páraic Kerrigan (@ParaicKerrigan) discussed his book 'Reeling in the Queers: Tales of Ireland's LGBTQ Past' which utilises oral testimony to tell lesser-known stories from the LGBTQ+ community.

We just digitized this 1920 map documenting violent actions by British forces between 1919-1920. It was likely posted publicly to raise awareness of British military and police activities.
Check out the digitized map at this link: library.bc.edu/iiif/view/991…

My teaching is being observed for tenure today. in my nationalism class, we’re discussing European colonial hierarchies, antisemitic violence, & Jewish Zionism a la Herzl’s 1896 suggestion to throw a “melinite bomb” to “clear a country of wild beasts” for the Jewish state to form

#OTD 1805, Admiral Nelson was mortally injured at the Battle of Trafalgar against French & Spanish Navies. We’re entering JBS’s archives to learn about Nelson’s memory with Timothy Jenks’ “Contesting the Hero: The Funeral of Admiral Lord Nelson.” cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Did you know carved turnips were the original scary lanterns in Ireland for #Halloween? The pumpkin is a later American twist on this tradition. Clodagh Doyle, The Keeper of the folklife collection at the NMI explains it all here: youtu.be/2Zs7Z3CuvgI

@AHAhistorians can apparently?
Can you imagining celebrating an "academic" history podcast that doesn't use citations or have a bibliography for episodes (and thus doesn't acknowledge the labor of other historians) and doesn't have transcripts? Thankful that @dig_history and our peers are leading the way
