There was a good video which did a similar thing by just carrying out normal internet searches of passers by. It was pretty scary because they could work out where they lived and worked quickly. I am increasingly thinking we just need to put as little online as possible.

Nor me, not sure sending selfies to American companies to prove your age seems like a great idea either

Yes it's great that we are actually getting it on free to air now. Same for the all Ireland hurling I watched last weekend. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it and how much I'm looking forward to the all Ireland football final this weekend.

This is a great model. Emily was kind enough to share it with our @vchlondon.bsky.social project and it has been so helpful. It allowed volunteers with no training to accurately transcribe Early Modern records. This would have been so much harder without her help

I love the juxtaposition here of @vchlondon.bsky.social #BigRedBooks with the (even bigger) volumes of Camden's Britannia (1695).
People have been writing about place for a long, long time.
For VCH online, see @bho.bsky.social, a full text of Camden here, btw: quod.lib.umich.edu/e/eebo2/B184....

This is a bumper year for @vchlondon.bsky.social:
Four new projects (each breaking new ground in counties where we haven't been actively researching for around a century.
Many new books *including* our 250th Big Red Book (and that's in a county we haven't done before: Westmorland). #VCHRedBook250
