@WilliamKilbride That’s great news! Can we choose where it’s planted or at least know where it is so we can visit? I’ll miss finding your card in my physical mailbox sometime in June though.

We're not sending Christmas cards from #dpc this year. Instead, we're planting a tree for every one of our 154 members. The office won't close officially till Friday but only a few of us checking emails occasionally till then ... dpconline.org/news/happy-hol…

@Historylvr1776 @USNatArchives @InfoStudiesAber offers a one year ALA recognised master’s in a small friendly university next to the sea courses.aber.ac.uk/postgraduate/a…

Ever wondered what it takes to become an archivist? To become a guardian of history, one often needs a master’s degree in history, library science, or archival studies. Classes cover document preservation, digital archiving, and cataloging. #ArchivesU #ArchivesMonth

@richove @JTullock And really - why does no one seem to know that you can log on to a WhatsApp account on any device so long as you can authenticate with a phone. The data’s on a server somewhere, it’s just a local version on the phone.

@ArchiveGray @ARAconf Welcome Alec to @InfoStudiesAber - sorry I missed you at the conference - I’ve left now - but see you in Aberystwyth in 2 weeks.

Happy #ara2023 to anyone I know who's there! Say hello to my Bristol Archives colleague Alec if you spot him - he'll be starting the Aber distance learning course this year!

@Isabelchurcher @ARAconf @ARAUK_IE @UKNatArcSector @UkNatArchives I heard this session discussed the need for an undergraduate route into the archives profession. @InfoStudiesAber offers an @CILIPinfo accredited BA in libraries, archives and museums courses.aber.ac.uk/undergraduate/…

Great to hear colleague James Hodgson speaking at #ARA2023 @ARAUK_IE conference about how our grants support diversity, equity and inclusion @UKNatArcSector @UkNatArchives

@SharonMcMeekin @amyicurrie Alas was only able to be @ARAconf for one day and am setting off home now. Have a great day. Sorry I missed you.

Happy first day to all at #ARA2023! Hope it's a great one 🌈 Looking forward to joining you tomorrow with @amyicurrie for our workshop on #digipres skills

@ARAconf Just arriving at Dublin port from Holyhead. Now to find the train to Belfast.

#ARAConference 2023 begins tomorrow - are you en-route to #Belfast yet? 🚂

@facebook I made an account with you and you disabled it half an hour later. The appeal only asked for a photograph, not formal ID so my authenticity couldn’t be effectively proved. The appeal was denied with no further recourse. You have effectively digitally excluded me.

Excited to be fully registered for ⁦@ICAAbuDhabi2023⁩ and grateful to the organisers for making it possible for me to share AI digital repository development to date - a collaboration between ⁦@InfoStudiesAber⁩ @abercompsci ⁦@RCAHMWales⁩ ⁦@NLWales⁩

With the #RoyalWelshShow kicking off today, now’s a good time to say huge thanks and congratulations to the #WACstudentproject group for their efforts this year in cataloguing and packaging the Welsh Agricultural College archive. Check out the catalogue: archiveshub.jisc.ac.uk/data/gb982-wac

@richove And of course - the messages don’t actually live on the phone - they live on a server somewhere….

@HelenRicha53 @MichaelRosenYes I learned to read by osmosis before I started school and then had to learn ITA in the first 2 years of primary school (Scotland in the late 60s). ITA was always a ‘second language’ just for school work because I still read ‘real’ books at home.

@MichaelRosenYes How does ‘the Ofsted brigade’ think children learn to read? Not all learn in the same way. How about the ‘Look and Say’ method?.., or ITA’?… ‘The Apprenticeship Method’?

While Ofsted inspectors are going round schools telling teachers that Early Years children mustn't read books with 'non-decodable' texts, parents who use libraries and buy books are having great fun reading books with their children at home...

@Mcintoshheidi You are welcome to DM me or email. I should be able to help.

Do I know anyone involved with the Aberystwyth distance learning course? One of our volunteers is currently working on the Cataloguing module and I have some questions...

@mikeparkerwales On the plus side train travel is now virtually free because you can nearly always get a full refund for delayed travel.

And now we arrive in Shrewsbury late, six minutes after the connection to Aberystwyth has left, and have to wait 1hr 50min for the next one.

@Sarah_DPC Sorry I can’t join @dpc_chat in London. It clashes with the closing meeting for @TyfuDyfi at @centre_alt_tech.

London bound for the first time since 2019 🤯, for the first #DPCUnconf23 in aaaaages! Looking forward to to seeing everyone for top notch chats... and hugs!

@agow @DrHilaryYoung @springsteen Amsterdam was pretty amazing too.

@DrHilaryYoung @springsteen It was an amazing concert! Wasn't it?

What a show! I may never wash my face again. @springsteen

@cocteautriplets I wrote my undergraduate dissertation on transport to the Small Isles nearly 40 years ago. Nothing much has changed timetable wise but at least you don’t have to change boats to go ashore any more.

@lornamhughes Only 19 days till Amsterdam.

Yeah that was amazing #Dublin #BruceSpringsteen

@jamie_medhurst @DylWynWil @BBCWalesToday There’s one in Furnace too.
