Update: I've dug a little more. It seems the Canadian Research Knowledge Network was acting on a request from the Mississauga Public Library when it removed the newspapers. Torstar will no longer allow the Library to make the papers available to the public via a third party source. This is a drag, because, while it's far from perfect, CRKN has better infrastructure and interface than the Library's site, all, I imagine, for less money. 7/
The preliminary results of the #SEXLAVES project, coord. by Xurxo Ayan Vila and Carlos Otero, have been published in World Archaeology.
The project focuses on the archaeological study of materials found in #brothels in NW Spain that were in operation at the end of the 20th century.

Rev. Jesse Jackson, hand in hand with fellow Black leaders, crossed Selma’s Edmund Pettus Bridge on March 9, marking 60 years since “Bloody Sunday.”
His has been a momentous journey through the history of Black Americans and their struggle for equality and inclusion https://theconversation.com/how-jesse-jackson-embodied-southern-politics-and-changed-american-elections-247435 #CivilRights

#OnThisDay, 13 Mar 1990, Ertha Pascal-Trouillot became the provisional president of Haiti. She was the first woman to hold the role.
She stabilised the country for long enough for it to hold a free and fair election.
“I accepted the position in the name of Haitian women. I did it as a service to my country. I did it with love and determination.”

Seit einem halben Jahr wird offenbar das Wort "cis" auf der "Plattform X als beleidigende Äußerungen gewertet".

Die "Protokolle des Cisleithanischen Ministerrates" sind schon lange nicht mehr dort.
Ein weiterer guter Grund.

Wars have always affected civilians in varying degrees, depending on scale and outcome. But a modern system of all-encompassing conflict, with almost inescapable effect across all sectors of society, is something that largely originated from the French Revolution.
The Revolution, at its time, was a unique combination of a government that demanded service from its own citizens, and the citizens themselves enthusiastically joining the war effort.

We live in times that will be the subject of future historians.
I'm certain about that.
I'm doubtful if there will be anyone left who will recognize them as historians.
Going to #Ireland in 12 days and I’m looking for some good historical fiction to set the mood! Any #Viking scholars and #histodons know if there are any good novels about Turgesius, for instance?

**How many medieval and early modern manuscripts were copied by female scribes? A bibliometric analysis based on colophons**
_“Using existing estimates for manuscript production and loss we may infer, under the assumption that the estimates are valid, that at least 110000 manuscripts were copied by female scribes, of which around 8000 should still exist.”_

**The Emergence of Pastoralism East of the Jordan Valley**
The Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures
_“Drawing from the archaeological and biomolecular records, Makarewicz will first investigate how the spread of domesticated goats and sheep during the mid-seventh millennium into the rapidly changing built Neolithic environments of the Jordanian highlands sparked the emergence of a novel form of animal management central to pastoralism: seasonal transhumance.”_

www.youtube.comAfter corresponding with staff at the Mississauga Public Library, I'm hopeful they'll be able to make these newspapers available in some way, shape, or form on their website (worth checking out below for the historical images). We'll see.
Anyways, this really underlines the fragility of the subscription model for access. At least microfilm, once paid for, would remain accessible to anyone who could get in front of a reader. 6/

City of MississaugaMy students and I will be fine. We are at a major research institution that will fork over whatever Torstar asks. And Torstar will use the additional 6 papers in its database to squeeze more from us and other universities. This rankles me. The papers were full-text searchable and available to everyone for years. The Mississauga Library and a federal grant paid for the digitization. And, seriously, virtually no one who isn't in Mississauga cares about its decades-old papers. 5/
Back issues of defunct local newspapers are a key primary source we draw on. Today I learned that Torstar - the conglomerate that now holds copyright to virtually all of the Mississauga papers that have been digitized - recently ordered the Canadian Research Knowledge Network, a nonprofit dedicated to the dissemination of historical print sources, to remove the entire run of 6 papers published across most of the 20th century so that it can place them behind a paywall. 4/
While we rely on the often excellent work of local historians, the aims of the course are necessarily more academic. So we end up doing much of the research needed to understand this history ourselves, in class and in assignments. This is great, it lets us pop the hood on historical research and gives first-year students an opportunity to poke around that they wouldn't otherwise have. But, for this to work, we rely on accessible evidence, especially digitized sources. 3/
In recent years, there's been a move to digitize and making freely available online whatever people can get there hands on. Some of this is legally dubious, but most is totally legit.
For the past few years, I've taught a course on the history of #PeelRegion - #Mississauga, #Brampton & #Caledon, a mainly urban area that, if it were one city, would be the third largest in #Canada, just behind Montreal. There exists a minuscule body of academic histories of the region.

Over the past several decades, as mainstream media has struggled to make ends meet, a small number of conglomerates have bought up many independent newspapers. Sometimes they shut them down, sometimes they continue to publish but generally with vastly reduced local coverage. Anyone who's been paying attention knows this.
What you may not know is that these conglomerates also acquire copyright to the papers they buy, even when they shut them down. 1/
Just started Antonia Fraser's The Warrior Queen. She asserts the USA is the lone culture to **not** have a historical Warrior Queen we can look to w pride. I'm sitting here trying to think of 1 woman fr ~400yrs of #history who could qualify as a national power and force to be reckoned with. #histodons #sschat
#OnThisDay, March 12, 538 AD, Ostrogothic king Witigis ended his year-long siege of Rome and retreated, conceding the city to Byzantine general Belisarius. The siege decimated the city's population, and defeat broke the power of the Goths (depicted in Kampf um Rom, 1968)

Like caffeine, alcohol, cannabis, and cocaine, history alters perception.
The world looks markedly different to those who are informed about the past and attuned to historical inquiry.
This is why governments seek to control history.
This is why MAGA strives to control its production and distribution.
The executive order was among several the president…

Le Comité de Vigilance face aux Usages Publics de l'Histoire mène depuis de longues années un travail remarquable.
Aujourd'hui il fait l'objet d'une assignation en justice par des falsificateurs de l'histoire. Cette cagnotte leur permettra de couvrir les frais.
