A dilapidated English cottage belonging to William Blake, the lauded 18th-century Romantic poet, is about to get a much-needed makeover. Eventually, after crews finish restoring the structure, it will open as a public museum. bit.ly/4e0uqeQ

The tin hat is on. Finally some serious protection has been placed around the Blake Cottage roof. We now have quotes in for a new thatch and new roof timbers to start the restoration project. Help the Blake Cottage Trust. Link to donate: justgiving.com/blake-cottage

@UrthonaUnbound @jodie_l_marley 🥰 Thanks for the love!

@jodie_l_marley @BlakeArchive Me too! When people ask me about Blake resources I always send them there too! ❤️

Spent all day looking at Blake's art; comparing and contrasting and making notes. I would personally like to thank @BlakeArchive both for making this exceptionally easy, and for the joy of being able to look at lots of Blake's art! (Thesis days don't always have to be dull!😂🤣)

The work of poet and artist William Blake went largely unrecognised in his lifetime. In this special blog, using our newspapers, we explore the evolving attitudes to the art of William Blake following his death in 1827 bit.ly/3Kdjihv #ArtHistory #WilliamBlake

We have a cover for our spring issue, which will appear at the end of this month. The map of 🇦🇺 is a puzzle: what's the connection between each state/territory and the Blake image I've chosen for it? Answers at blog.blakearchive.org/2023/04/05/ant…

While MSI was developed in its modern form for work with medieval manuscripts (& I mostly use it for that purpose), we are starting to push away from just the Middle Ages. For example @oishani @achillghost and I have a forthcoming article using MSI images to recover William Blake
