Many of you probably know a bit about the life of the diplomat Sir Alexander Cadogan, but did you know he was a fan of the ballet?
We hand over to Dr Victoria Thoms who takes a deep dive into Cadogan’s diaries.

Today is #InternationalCatDay , so what better time to share one of our more unusual items – Stanley the (toy) cat.😺

He sat outside 10 Downing Street while Margaret Thatcher was PM in the 1980s.

This is a workshop Dr Lyndsey Jenkins and I are organising on the Labour Party and motherhood. Please do read and share!

In June, aside from his work with our new Digital Preservation system (more details soon!), Chris (Digital Archivist) has been contributing to our free remote copying service. We send researchers thousands of images each month, many newly captured #behindthescenes #digitisation

I had a brilliant time talking to Nuala McGovern on BBC Woman's Hour about #NecessaryWomen - catch up here, my bit starts 46.30 bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

I’ve been on a CrossCountry Trains train from Exeter to Stafford and my bag containing clothes etc has been taken off the train, presumed stolen but possibly innocently taken. Will report to British Transport Police but please retweet.

The talk (3pm for no more than 1 hour) will be followed by a Q&A session, & coffee, tea and cake 🍰 Our speakers are Ayodele Ladokun (Technical Archivist & Projects Coordinator, University of Fort Hare) and Ayabonga Meyi (recent graduate in Archives and Records Management). All welcome

And you will obviously be a very worthy successor to the likes of Dr Lyndsey Jenkins, Michael Lambert and Lorenzo LeNoir who have been brilliant current or recent Archives By Fellows.

It will be great to have you with us Churchill Archives Centre. Many congratulations!
