Hi all, just to remind you that we have an event this weekend at Conway Hall in Central London, starting at 11am, but you're welcome to come after lunch when the main editing session will begin. The subject is on 19th century pamphleteers, as many pamphlets have been digitised and placed on CC licensed by Conway Hall. The sign up page on Eventbrite is here <Are you interested in 19th century history?
