I am pleased to announce the launch of "What is #DigitalHumanities? The Album" what-is-dh-the-album.netlify.app This both answers the titular question through adapting the lyrics of popular songs, and acts as a provocation for considering what makes a project "Digital Humanities"

what-is-dh-the-album.netlify.app

What is #Digital​Humanities? The Album

Because defining DH takes a whole album. Or more.


If you trained a large language model on the masters dissertations from the Canon Law course at Cardiff University, would this be the canonical LLM LLM?


Voting in the 2022 #DHAwards is now open! My website "What is #DigitalHumanities? The Album" is a nominee in "DH for fun" If you like your DH set to popular music but still well footnoted  and encoded in TEI, then check it out (and maybe vote for it!) dhawards.org/dhawards2022/v…

Many congratulations to Tom Johnston on his appointment by His Majesty The King as Rouge Croix Pursuivant of Arms -our first Australian Officer of Arms I believe! college-of-arms.gov.uk/news-grants/ne…


Rare example of the Great Seal in blue wax, on a document relating to a member of the Royal family.

I spot two grants of arms, and is that a charter under the Great Seal?

Teaching in a new building this afternoon. Thinking of printing out a sign that says “In case of medieval emergency, break glass for mace.”

Reminds me I need to finish my GeoJSON dataset of English market towns!

Medieval law alert: @LBofHavering could block Smithfield meat market being moved to Dagenham if it chooses to enforce 775 year old law banning a market from being set up within a day's sheep drive (6.66 miles) from Romford Market.



Rare work tweet, but if anyone needs a web developer I have an unexpected opening for the next few months. My DMs are open!


Well there was going to be a thread, but I kept getting the "you are over the daily limit for sending Tweets" message despite sending a grand total of two tweets from this account, and scheduling doesn't work with replies. So you can read it on mastodon: hcommons.social/@dr_pda/109831…


So this slide from @spil030's talk to @burgonsoc sent me on a deep dive into the provision of tertiary education in colonial #Auckland. I was sure that there had been university education in Auckland earlier than 1883. Thread.

Legally inclined followers might be interested in my recent post on Mastodon in which I discover that conveyance by livery of seisin has been abolished in New Zealand every few decades since 1842! hcommons.social/@dr_pda/109505…

I see under "Miscellaneous", @Sotherans used to offer "Arms found, printed, and engraved". This reminds of my unfinished survey of the 19th century heraldic trades, where heraldic stationers or "heraldic offices" offered similar. A useful reminder to check general stationers too.
