Not on here very often these days so please do get in touch directly if you have a new Irish history book out or spotted a book that you'd love to review for Irish Historical Studies. @SnedAndrew and I as joint book reviews editors are always open to suggestions🥰

Really chuffed with my change in title. I’m very fortunate to have great colleagues and friends @UUHistory @UlsterArts and the best collaborators @Elaineffarrell @seanoconnellQUB @TomHulme87.
Thanks for all the help and support- couldn’t have done it without you all☺️

Got my hands on a copy ahead of Wednesday's launch 😍 The fire of 1922 destroyed so much; this special issue offers a glimpse of what survived.

Congrats to all involved in its publication @irishmanuscript
