@s_starrenburg @hanamorel We are currently working on a complete abstract booklet and programme which we aim to make available as a PDF on the conference website shortly-we will@announce via Twitter once it is available #achs2020

@hanamorel @ACHS_2020 Hi Hana, would you be able to perhaps share a new WeTransfer link? I wanted to download a copy of the programme for future reference before the Ex Ordo presentations go offline (to know who presented what), but unfortunately the link has expired.

@doremai @s_starrenburg @rishika_mukherj Could you send your request to the conference email please? I don’t think this will be possible unfortunately but we can look into it for you and try 🙂

@ACHS_2020 @s_starrenburg @rishika_mukherj Any chance I can acquire the recording of just my session? Only so as to look back at the - hopeful evolution - three years on.

Just a reminder that the recordings of our Q&A sessions will remain available until 8 September #ACHS2020 🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️

Congratulations: the #ACHS2020 @Crit_Heritage has shown the vibrancy of #CHS community in these uncertain times. Let’s keep the momentum and continue discussions on #criticalheritage at the final #CHEurope online conference next 15-16 Oct. More info on 👉cheurope-project.eu

Thank you to everyone who participated in the virtual #achs2020 @Crit_Heritage conference & made it such a great success. The conference website will be open for another week to catch up with/listen again to on demand content event.achs2020.exordo.com

When I was writing my thesis I had to take regular 'detoxing' breaks. Some days, after reading archival material, I would feel so much rage for how my ancestors where treated. How do you deal w/ the emotional toll? The historical is so personal sometimes #ACHS2020

Huge thanks to the #ACHS2020 organizers for the engaging conference and to all the @achs_ecrn who contributed radical new research/engagement methods and those who participated in the zoom coffee rooms. Stay safe, sane and connected!

Most likely all #ACHS2020 organisers are sleeping by now or having a very-much deserved rest & drink! Here in MEX, there are still a good 3 more hours to continue catching up with the papers of today! A massive THANK YOU @ACHS_2020 for the conf! Learnt a lot & met fab people ❤️

Just finished attending my last livecast of @ACHS_2020. Congratulations to everyone who participated for making #ACHS2020 such a stimulating and engaging event, and massive thanks to the LOC and conference team!
