The Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference met in Wilmington a few weeks back. Since it was at home and closely related to projects in the wings,* a few Delaware State Library staff were able to attend. I’ve talked here about how historians keep popping up in my reading/learning of late; well, this event sure brought a […]

Quick hits from the weekend book reviews: First-time novelist Tom Rachman’s The Imperfectionists was “so good [Christopher Buckley] had to read it twice.” Reminiscent of Roald Dahl, Evelyn Waugh amongst others, the interlocking stories of an English-language newspaper in Rome and its staff are hilarious and immaculately composed. Heaven: Our Enduring Fascination with the Afterlife […]

…on the brain this week. First, in my continued search for Civil War journals/letters written by women, I happened upon this gem. Women’s Letters: America from the Revolutionary War to the present offers cultural insight into a population rarely mentioned in history classes when I was a girl.
