I've read all of the British Library's paper on their recent cyber-attack and have some thoughts from the perspective of someone who spent many years working in systems librarian roles in UK Higher Education libraries.

More from me on how university Arts and Humanities have become critically vulnerable, in a hostile ecosystem that will lead to disaster if left unchecked. As I've been saying for months: heed the warning. researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-vie…

Sensible advice from Rachel Hewitt

🚨 Roundtable panel on 'Military Humanitarianism' at 4.30pm at History at City on Mon 15th January! Wonderful Brian Drohan, Jessica Reinisch, Elisabeth Leake, Silke Roth, will be discussing their work & recent historians' attention to MH. Pls sign up here: city.ac.uk/news-and-event…

1. I don’t know about you but I’m totally exhausted. Doesn’t help that I’ve been bed-ridden for most of the last week, admittedly. The recent government “climbdown” on the minimum income rule for spouses and partners is a good illustration of why I’m so, so tired of it all.

A miserly tale indeed, and one not limited to QMUL. At Birkbeck, we did our marking at the worst possible time in the academic calendar (beginning of autumn term), & our students progressed or graduated, and we have yet to be paid back our deductions of 50%.

This looks fantastic - Military Humanitarianism: Reimagining the Nexus Between Aid Operations and Armed Forces held at City, U of London, by Dr Margot Tudor & Brian Drohan

📢We have a challenge for our research community!
UN Library&Archives Geneva received approx. 8000 index cards from #UN HQ concerning the files temporarily sent from the #LeagueOfNationsarchives to the #UN in the 1940s & 1950s.
🧐How can they be used for research?

Next week sees the release of my monograph Dismantling the League of Nations, a labour of love full of emotional upheaval, internationalism from below, and behind closed doors name-calling. It's a little surreal and/or nerve-wracking to see it unleashed onto the world mind you...

It's finally here: this week we are welcoming an amazing group of researchers to Leuven for the conference De-centering the History of International Organisations. Full program available on the website kadoc.kuleuven.be/english/3_rese…

frank Ryan Glauser We were lucky to have Jessica Reinisch with us to talk about the way the UNRRA archive was constructed, and the role of people in making it what it is...
