Pleasure to be at the launch of @claireconnolly.bsky.social excellent new book last week, and to also get chance to nip into @ucclibrary.bsky.social to see some of their Irish-language manuscripts, including this bit of unexpected visual Romanticism!
Great to meet you! T.i is a lovely manuscript, with a layout influenced by the printed book - title page & frontispiece.
Would you know when the item was last used, and what else was used at the same time? It could have been gathered up accidentally and is now in a box you’d never think of looking in. Still needs people to search though!
The discovery trope, but this time the archivist is discovering. 📜

Front cover to the second edition of the ‘Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.’ The title is written in gold lettering on the front of the brown cover.
Portrait of Frederick Douglass from his second autobiography “My Bondage and My Freedom.”

I find it slightly odd that I now have to tick “I am human” if beginning a chat with Microsoft Copilot. Like really?
Yes the research profile has my email. Thanks!
Thank you! That would be great & much appreciated. I can access American Archivist from 4 years ago but not more recent issues.
Hi @librarycolleen.bsky.social Any chance this article is available in an open access or institutional repository? Thanks
Congratulations! I hope the dedicated time in such beautiful surroundings is fruitful for you.
Welcome to UCC!

Liis Cotter and I recently ran a randomised coffee trial for staff in the Mercy and St. Michael's unit, here in Cork. I’m happy to see our poster featured at MUH's Clinical Audit and Quality Improvement Day, now published on CORA. Take a look - cora.ucc.ie/items/b171c8....
We look forward to welcoming early career scholars of francophone postcolonial studies to our campus in June! Make sure to send in your abstracts!

What I should have added in this piece is that even if all of this stopped right now, that doesn't pardon any past offences already committed. Criminal prohibitions of sexual abuse and expolitation are partly aimed at deterrence - and this only works if they are enforced.
I co-wrote an article that just came out! 📜
