could someone help us track this #watermark? I thought the T B at the bottom would make it easy, but nothing so far at memoryofpaper.eu/
maybe because it is a late thing? It's a 19th cent. Persian #manuscript

Thank you for taking us on a fun and unique adventure! ❤️💙
For the past 23 weeks, @kulibraries have been offering remote services. During that time, I posted about a manuscript from the collections of the Kenneth Spencer Research Library every day. The libraries open to public tomorrow so #onemanuscriptaday comes to an end on #Day161.

ATTENTION LIBRARIANS: You know that ‘empty’ box you’ve been walking past every day for a decade? OPEN IT. Today we found one 19th bone inscribed with the Ten Commandments in Irish, and two 11th century fragments in Coptic. Now listed and rehoused! #OpenTheBox #hiddencollections

Queen Elizabeth I was crowned on 15 January 1559. Some years before, we believe, this binding was sewn by the young Princess Elizabeth as a New Year's gift for her stepmother, Katherine Parr.

How to use a medieval bookmark:
1. Read.
2. Spin the volvelle to mark where you stopped reading (I-IV correspond to different sections of the page).
3. Close book.
4. Repeat as necessary.

This was a super inspiring talk on importance, possibilities, and challenges in cataloging of special collections delivered by amazing @nkivilcimyavuz from @manuscriptsetc at @SIMS_Mss's #hookingup symposium.
No, this is not an art installation; it is 18thC legal writs on parchment strung “to keep them in order”! This item from U KS is ex of ms-cataloging challenges shared by @ukivilcimyavuz who insists that cataloging in updated, truly useful ways IS scholarly research.

In an article today, @caitlinmoran described a visit to Treasures Galllery @britishlibrary and noticed how few 'treasures' were written by or about women. So I'm going to tweet each day for the next 3 weeks, a BL 'treasure' by a woman. Feel free to join in. #BLwomentreasures
