And two weeks ago @srbdts @SanneHermans4 @ZennaroNicolo @JeroenPuttevils explored the family archive of Henri-François Schilders preserved in the @plantinmoretus to find a correspondence that we can analyse together with the @UAntwerpenFLW history students next fall!

Today is #internationalarchivesday Stating the obvious but @Back2FutureERC is impossible without archives. We cannot do without the preserved sources, digital scans, the inventories archivists have made, the infrastructure they provide and their kind and generous guidance. Thanx!
