For those teaching, researching, or interested in visualizing Greek myth, there is an invaluable new interactive map & database of Greek mythic persons, objects, & places called MANTO. The raw linked open data alone is stunning but the maps are also fantastic [1/4] manto.unh.edu/viewer.p/60/...

I have various links (accumulated a bit haphazard over a rather lengthy period) on this bit of my website: www.lesleyahall.net/webdoc1.htm ; plus I seem to have quite a few of my blogposts tagged 'archives': lesleyahall.blogspot.com/search/label... (I was a professional archivist for decades)

A few links about working with archives - a work-in-progress page and I'll add other things that look useful. Suggestions welcome. progressivegeographies.com/resources/wo... These are all by others, but if there is interest I might write up a few thoughts about using them for the history of ideas.

In my lifetime, with twelve prime ministers, I have never seen one both elected to that office because of a general election *and* voted out of that office because of a general election. The last was Edward Heath, elected before I was born, defeated a couple of years after.

Peter Salmon, "Paper Trails", on philosophers and their archives, Aeon Essays aeon.co/essays/how-a... Part a review of the newly translated book on How Nietzsche Came in From the Cold: Tale of a Redemption by Philipp Felsch, but has a wider discussion of archives. www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?b...

This is a good innovation. The third edition of Key Thinkers on Space and Place updates many entries from earlier editions, removes some and adds many entirely new ones. The editors have made the removed entries available online open access. keythinkersonspaceplace.wordpress.com
