Historians, do you have a preferred resource for digital access to historical newspapers? I have library access to a limited version of ProQuest, but it is missing a lot #history #econhist #economichistory #socialhistory
Intrigued by tales from the past? Love autobiographies of ordinary people? Stay awhile and hear Elizabethโs story. She was a Lancashire lass born in 1918. An ordinary life lived in extraordinary times.

Museum caption - French Protestant refugees (Huguenots) had brought with them the skill of silk weaving & settled in Spitalfields, London. โThis petite-sized robe ร l'anglaise is one of two matching dresses probably worn by teenage sisters living in York. The material may have come from a dress originally worn by their mother. The silk was possibly designed by Anna Maria Carthwaite, a Spitalfields silk designer who pioneered naturalistic floral designs. The stylised pattern includes hops which also notably feature in a Spitalfields silk dress made for Ann Fanshawe, the daughter of a London brewerโ.
Spitalfields Silk Dress c. 1730-50
The silk was perhaps designed by Anna Maria Carthwaite, a Spitalfields silk designer.
