Spent a fascinating day with the wonderful @jo_gane experimenting with salt and silver using a recipe from 1835. Learned so much about the chemistry of photogenic drawing and calotype photography from a real expert.

In the 19thC, George Dawson said opening public libraries in Birmingham proved that 'a town like this' was more 'than a fortuitous concourse of human atoms' or 'a miserable knot of vipers struggling in a pot'. What will closing them say about our civic life and standards?

Just finished this summer reading, thanks @SiobhanAngus and @EveryoneActive for entertaining the kids. Great conclusion which resonates with thinking through my thesis. ‘If we want to address the challenges of the present, the past holds so many potential answers for us’ p.229
