We have an exciting one-year post at The National Archives for an 18th century researcher to shape our public engagement programme in the lead up to the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. Please share and get in touch if you have questions! civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk/csr/jobs.cgi?j…

Book historians or just generally knowledgeable early modernists, is there a term for the sub-titles/précis in book margins? I understand marginalia as hand-written, is there an equivalent term for printed text in the margins like in the left-hand margin below?

There are still some places left on this workshop should you be a student, or have a student, who might want to sign up!
