When this blog was launched, the thought of reaching 600 posts would have seemed absurd. Producing the first 6 felt like enough of a challenge. This blogpost celebrates some of our blogging activity over the last 7 years.
The blog was the brainchild of David Lowe, our now-retired head of department. A great deal has changed since the first blog post appeared in November 2013. In it, David introduced the blog and also what was then the department: European Collections & Cataloguing. In 2016, he wrote again about the department, this time to introduce its new incarnation: Collections and Academic Liaison, a coming together of European Collections & Cataloguing and the English Collections Department. More recently, I touched upon the need to think about a new name for the blog itself (as yet unresolved) in this post.
