Erin Marie Holmes

@LawrenceCelani @DavidHeadPhd @AmericanYawp I haven’t actually used it to teach yet, but I needed to develop a syllabus for a Global from 1500 survey and came across this: openstax.org/details/books/…

READ HALL LIVES! We're thrilled to announce that you can now take a floor-by-floor 3D virtual tour of our historic former home, saved for posterity thanks to the work of Dr. Erin Holmes (@LadyStaircase). Check it out at the link! my.matterport.com/show/?m=zGTYJ9…

@ccjones13 The only questions I add to these are 1) Was there a Revolution at all? (Ties together your first and last questions) and 2) Where does their knowledge about the Revolution come from? (I’m a public historian and can’t help it)

It is with both excitement and sadness that we announce the last History Brown Bag at Read Hall. Join us next Tuesday for a talk by Dr. Erin Holmes (@LadyStaircase), who will present her research on plantation landscapes in the 18th-century British Atlantic world. @MUDemocracy

@mikedoesmuseums 💖💖💖 Y’all produced an amazing exhibition, even in extraordinary circumstances and I am profoundly bummed I never saw it in person (but you better believe I spent time in the virtual and the catalog). One question, though: is there a t-shirt and can I get one? 😘

Given the way things have gone this year, it's a bit optimistic for me to say this my last day with this current exhibition @AmPhilSociety but technically it is! I'm sure a sappy and reflective post about it will happen soon enough

@woodyholtonusc @MUDemocracy I remember no rabbit poop! Just drinking lemonade and our first round of professional “would you rather?” Oh, and how small B & H were then! I didn’t forget you offered, I just expected to need a little time to get through all 779 pages before I saw you 😆

@LadyStaircase @MUDemocracy Tell 'em the WHOLE story, Dr. Erin! When you 1st met me, it was @ my RVA house, before we moved to UofSC. G. & I were both mortified about all the rabbit poop you had to navigate to get to our meeting at the b'fast table. (I had planned to bring you a book; now I can travel lite)

IT’S HERE! When I first met @woodyholtonusc, he was working on this book, so it’s exciting to have it in my hands. W inspired me to be a better historian long before (&since) he became my advisor & I can’t wait to dig in & discuss it w/ him when he visits @MUDemocracy Nov 11-12!

@comebackcities It’s pulpy, but Timeline by Michael Crichton comes to mind (the book was so much better than the movie and includes some musings on the emergence of chimnies that made this architectural historian very happy).

Historians, new media scholars, and nerds of all kinds, please tell me! What are your favorite SF novels or stories that feature themes of historicism and contingency? (interpret this as broadly as you like)

@susan_ramonat @kylebroberts @AmPhilSociety (He’s in Part 2 in the Geology section—he was one of the favorites of the the lead curator for that exhibition, Amy Ellison)

Just two more weeks to see the record-smashing exhibition Mapping the Nation: Shaping the Early American Republic @AmPhilSociety. Want more info on 18thC surveying? Check out this blog by lead curator Erin Holmes @ladystaircase amphilsoc.org/blog/few-techn…

@susan_ramonat @kylebroberts @AmPhilSociety J. P. Lesley is great! We ended Mapping a Nation in 1816, but Lesley’s work was featured in the 2018 exhibition “In Franklin’s Footsteps”—you can still see the material we included in the online exhibition: amphilsoc.org/museum/exhibit…

There are only a few more weeks to visit Mapping a Nation: Shaping the Early American Republic. In this two part blog series, lead curator Erin Holmes (@LadyStaircase) wrote about her mission to understand the ins and outs of 18th century surveying. amphilsoc.org/blog/few-techn…

A great #VastEarlyAmerica edition of the Missouri Regional Seminar (MRSEAH) at @Dresselspub, with a quite magisterial comment from Alex Dubé of @WUSTL. Let an @MUDemocracy historian know if you would like to share your work at a future meeting. @AZReichardt @LadyStaircase

@DouglasBradburn They’re going to do it! 🤞🤞🤞#WorldSeries

@LadyStaircase Go Nats! #WorldSeries

@DouglasBradburn In case you need a new profile picture.

Thank you @GWBooks for finding a way to mention the podcast Janine Boldt and I did with y’all about “Mapping a Nation” in the same sentence as the new Star Wars movie. Maps, Star Wars, and Mount Vernon in one tweet! 😂 *hums “These are a few of my favorite things”*
