Ángel H. Roffo, el médico argentino que puso al país a la vanguardia de la lucha contra el cáncer

A 45 años de cuando la hinchada de Chicago desafió a la Dictadura

From #NLI - ‘We believe that Miss Coddington was a member of the Coddington family who owned the land at the Battle of the Boyne site. The image has been hand-tinted and resides in a leather case (c.1852). Learn more over on Flickr: https://flic.kr/p/aFMYX2 ‘. Probably one of William Sharman Crawford’s granddaughters (his daughter Maria married Henry Coddington of Oldbridge House in 1827 and had eight children) #SharmanCrawford

From #NLI - This membership card for The Associated Felt Makers of Donnybrook (who "Supported their Sick and Buried their Dead...") is dated 16 May 1814; https://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000260947.
Two guild members E. Green[?] and William O'F[?]ham signed and dated the back of this card - it belonged to a Patrick Trell (though there's some doubt about the exact surname), and he was Member No. 27 of the guild. #FriendlySocieties #Donnybrook #Dublin

For me there is an opportunity deploy them in the wild. Let me know if you want to work on that.

Bernárd Lynch, what a wonderful man, living and supporting so many - including friends - through the horrors of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in New York in the 1980s.
Today, in the presence of Tonie Walsh and other activists from here in Ireland, his papers were formally handed over to the National Library of Ireland, to preserve so much history and so many histories.

To say that is exciting to me is an understatement.
