Art historians should also explore the new #RoyalSociety digital archive - there are hundreds of diagrams, drawings, watercolours, photographs and paintings, most of which were never published (and the ones that were published, were in B&W even if originals were colour).

For instance, this set of materials about Tenerife includes watercolours and stereoscopic photographs: https://makingscience.royalsociety.org/items/ms_626/tenerife-papers-of-charles-piazzi-smyth?page=10

Very pleased to have put the final touches on 'Beyond the Enlightenment: Scottish Intellectual Life, 1790-1914' (edited by me and Colin Kidd, due #EdinburghUP in May)!

It explores how #Scottish intellectual culture shifted from the #Enlightenment to the #Victorians.

Starting a project just as covid hit wasn't ideal, so many thanks to our talented team of postdocs and all our contributors (and #LeverhulmeTrust and #StAndrewsHistory for support)
