Kick off your weekend reading with this piece on the history of royal privacy (and the lack thereof)
How public are royals expected to be? Where are the boundaries between public and private? In Broadsides, Rachel Hamilton highlights one particular invasion of royal privacy - the phenomenon of royal stalkers from Queen Victoria to the present. www.nacbs.org/post/royal-s...

Historian folk: I'm in the early days of a project that involves attaching tiny little details of info gleaned from archival sources to a very long list of people. How do YOU keep track of such tidbits in your work? Spreadsheet? Scrivener folder? It's overwhelming and I need to be organized.
