And since my work with @WarEphemera I have looked differently at some objects I had previously overlooked! Here are some dip pens, pen cases, nib boxes and an inkwell @AMFoster_ will surely appreciate

Thought provoking piece

Our latest article 'Making the Memory Book: War-Time Loss and Memorialization through Ephemera' by Bruce Scates explores the way a family fashioned a memorial to a son ‘taken by the war’.

@ChrisKempshall @FTIlustrator and I worked together on the latest article to be published as part of our @WarEphemera SI for @Genealogy_MDPI. A reflective piece on community co-production, marginalised histories, and learning to embrace failure. A humbling research experience.
17 May 2024
Our next article by @teachlearnwar , @ChrisKempshall, & @FTIlustrator explores what happens when research activities to platform histories and experiences from communities outside of the commemorative mainstream do not work out as intended.
