β€˜More than ever, history and historians need a collaborative and co-ordinated approach' bit.ly/4iddCU8 In advocacy, the Royal Historical Society works closely with fellow #history organisations. Today we release a statement with @histassoc.bsky.social, @ihr.bsky.social and History UK. #skystorians

I'm so excited about a #digitalhumanities project on the German Peasants' War that my colleagues and I are debuting at the @srsrensoc.bsky.social conference in July, in time for the 500th anniversary of the conflict. If you're interested in early modern religious conflict, I hope to see you there!

It’s been brought to our attention that an email has been doing the rounds offering travel & accommodation advice for #RenSoc25. Please delete and block the sender as it seems to be a scam email.

Don't miss out on the early bird registration!

proud to sponsor this roundtable and our continued collaborations across the pond with the Renaissance Society of America.

Give these fine folks a follow
