Yesterday's archival cream of the crop. I suspect the Clothing Panoptican specialized in turtlenecks.

My RAs have been transcribing letters from the mid-nineteenth century for the past several months. While they're improving by leaps and bounds, they remain wholly incapable of recognizing "Esq." or "Esqre." for what it is. Maybe I'll make them watch Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.

This is the first time a book I've contributed to has gotten the subway platform publicity treatment.

I found a curious document in the archives and followed it down a rabbit hole. The internet's great for this, but it has its limits - sometimes we need to sit down with a collection that hasn't been digitized and put online. So I located the local repository that's liable to have the most complete collection, thinking I'd write them an email inquiry... Only to find they only have a phone number! Now I want to visit even more.

I'm hanging out at the university's rare book library today. This is what living is for.
