Many thanks to the ARA (Archives & Records Association UK and Ireland) and @exploreyourarchive for this wonderful week !
It will be a pleasure to see you next year 😉
While four autobiograpical accounts of Alice Thornton's (1626-1707) life exist, each one is different from the others as she changed the structure and rewrote events. #EYAUnique#ExploreYourArchive
This is 🍌🍌🍌🍌. A grave field from the Viking Age has been discovered in the middle of the city of Gothenburg. Right in between Sweden's largest outdoor stadium and the public bath with the Olympic pool. There is so much city activity at this location that it's hard to comprehend that these graves were somehow overlooked...? (Article in Swedish)
@garius@histodons@histodon@academicchatter@medievodons You might be on to something. I mean, the stadium is called Ullevi Stadium and the public bath house is called the Valhalla Bath. The graves were pretty much hiding in plain sight, weren't they? 😁

Traditions multiples dans ce dessin #ArchivesDeLyon (vers 1919, cote 35II/121), intitulé "183e Société de Secours mutuels des Employés de la Soierie lyonnaise" : les #lions à #Lyon bien sûr, mais aussi la soierie lyonnaise, les sociétés de secours mutuels, ainsi que les récompenses obtenues lors d'expositions internationales ou universelles.
If you think the #Slickback move or challenge is the original, think again. A year earlier, in 2022, it was started by Jubi and called it the #JubiSlide float.
Like many popular challenges and "games"/"toys" this year 2023, it was a rediscovery of a younger generation and revitalised it under a new name.
@youronlyone That dance move has been around a lot longer than last year. I was watching Melbourne shuffle compilation videos 15+ years ago where kids were doing those same steps as part of their shuffle routines.
Jubi probably didn't know about it when he made his dance challenge because shuffling comes out of a pretty specific subculture that existed before tiktok and what not so I'm not faulting him for taking credit for the challenge. Just clarifying that the move has been around longer.
@Erzbet Oooh! Much appreciated. Yep, it's hard to find out content these days, especially before tiktok. (Even text search is so challenging if earlier than 2012.)
Interesting though the dance step got twice the attention of today's tiktok generation.
The oldest recorded contact between the #Philippines and #Korea was during Korea's #JoseonDynasty, sometime in the 19th Century to be more specific (Joseon lasted for 500 years).
Little known fact: During #WorldWar2, Imperial Japan brought in Korean soldiers in the Philippines as an additional military support of Imperial Japan's occupation.
There are many #Koreantown in the Philippines. The two most known are in #Makati City and #Angeles City.
Sugeruję włączyć silny filtr na emocjonalne sformułowania i otworzyć się na edukację techniczno-historyczną.
Współpraca Niemiec i Związku Radzieckiego – opinia publiczna nadal nie wie o niej zbyt wiele. Najczęściej kojarzy się nam z sowieckim atakiem na Polskę 17 września 1939 roku i to wszystko. A współpraca krajów, które przez ponad dekadę posługiwały się narodowymi flagami w tym samym, czerwonym kolorze, zaczęła się znacznie wcześniej.
Dzisiaj krótko - udało mi się w Bundesarchiv odnaleźć akta z procesu przedwojennego kasjera z łódzkiego #DSAP oraz jednego z sekretarzy niemieckich związków zawodowych Wilhelma Zinsera.
Zinser został oskarżony w 1943 r. o defetyzm. Jako urzędnik Ubezpieczalni Społecznej w Łodzi (okupacyjnej, tj. niemieckiej) został on po donosie aresztowany ponownie przez Gestapo i skazany 6 listopada 1943 r. na karę śmierci, wykonaną 31 grudnia 1943 r.
