because Ignotus’ story is so fascinating. An archivist's role is to be a keeper of stories. It remains an honour to help keep a small part of this one. See y’all in the new year! Read all about Paul Ignotus here: rylandscollections.com/2016/09/29/pau…

entirely the wrong place in the Guardian archive. Regardless, when trying to classify and describe them, I fell down something of a research rabbit hole (when I should absolutely have been doing something more relevant to what I’d been hired for)

Today is my last day of work before maternity leave, and by happenstance, I received an enquiry about a blog post that I wrote in 2016 about Hungarian political writer, Paul Ignotus. I wrote it during my first job at the Rylands, cataloguing the editorial correspondence (thread)

Some days, I get to be involved in really really cool stuff. Our final Palladium project blog is up: rylandscollections.com/2022/02/23/cre… @TheJohnRylands @Carcanet
