Big plus one for the @UkNatArchives research guides - they're my go to for any new topic - obviously, for place-based work if there's an @VCH_London entry available (and we know that the east of England is a gap) then that's a useful place to start. Many are on @bho_history 1/x

@lornarichardson @UkNatArchives @VCH_London @bho_history Along with lots of other material (there are some useful subject guides for @bho_history here: https://t.co/loHRv7JvZq - I wrote the Local History one). 2/x
@lornarichardson @UkNatArchives @VCH_London @bho_history If you have access, a simple placename search on the Bibliography of British and Irish History will almost certainly pull up anything published in local and national journals. Declaring an interest, I'm a section editor on that, but it is invaluable. 3/x
@lornarichardson @UkNatArchives @VCH_London @bho_history With @CHPPC_IHR we've put together some online training/seminars/events which address some key themes (and there are more on the way; please let me know if there's a particular topic you'd like covered): https://t.co/ujY5aYIek8 4/x
@lornarichardson @UkNatArchives @VCH_London @bho_history @CHPPC_IHR My colleagues @IHR_Library have put together an excellent guide to free/open access online resources (some grouped under local history but many more are applicable): https://t.co/iMu7A2zIyK
@lornarichardson @UkNatArchives @VCH_London @bho_history @CHPPC_IHR @IHR_Library Away from things that I am directly involved with, it's worth checking out @BALHNews and their journal which has lots of useful examples of the use of particular source groups and much of their journal back catalogue is available for free: https://t.co/nFcXZtWg6y
@lornarichardson @UkNatArchives @VCH_London @bho_history @CHPPC_IHR @IHR_Library @BALHNews If you want a very good primer on all things landscape-related, follow @DrSueOosthuizen who has curated some really brilliant twitter threads on various elements of landscape history: https://t.co/LZWumTIrkA
@lornarichardson @UkNatArchives @VCH_London @bho_history @CHPPC_IHR @IHR_Library @BALHNews @DrSueOosthuizen In terms of buildings and the built environment there are almost too many to list but @HistoricEngland have lots of their research and publications available for free on topics as diverse as railway goods sheds and iron age enclosures: https://t.co/13FQusi14T
@lornarichardson @UkNatArchives @VCH_London @bho_history @CHPPC_IHR @IHR_Library @BALHNews @DrSueOosthuizen @HistoricEngland It's also worth checking out some of the social media initiatives: @HouseHistoryHr is good, likewise @ancestryhour (so many local history topics can be developed by working with genealogists) and there are many others.
@lornarichardson @UkNatArchives @VCH_London @bho_history @CHPPC_IHR @IHR_Library @BALHNews @DrSueOosthuizen @HistoricEngland @HouseHistoryHr @ancestryhour Mapping - @KYPWestEngland has been mentioned and is amazing, for London, look no further than @LayersofLondon but many counties (and indeed all of Wales) have historic mapping available georeferenced and online. Here are some favourites (cont.):

@lornarichardson @UkNatArchives @VCH_London @bho_history @CHPPC_IHR @IHR_Library @BALHNews @DrSueOosthuizen @HistoricEngland @HouseHistoryHr @ancestryhour @KYPWestEngland @LayersofLondon Obviously there's also @natlibscotmaps (invaluable) and the many, many county HERs (Historic Environment Records). @SomHeritage is a particularly good one: https://t.co/dUob1fv2ey
@lornarichardson @UkNatArchives @VCH_London @bho_history @CHPPC_IHR @IHR_Library @BALHNews @DrSueOosthuizen @HistoricEngland @HouseHistoryHr @ancestryhour @KYPWestEngland @LayersofLondon @natlibscotmaps @SomHeritage Ok, I have to make some coffee now, but if there's anything I've missed or additional questions, @lornarichardson, ask away.

क्या आप जानते हैं कि क्या है, पितृ पक्ष में कौवे को खाना देने के पीछे का वैज्ञानिक कारण!

श्राद्ध पक्ष में कौओं का बड़ा ही महत्व है। कहते है कौआ यम का प्रतीक है, यदि आपके हाथों दिया गया भोजन ग्रहण कर ले, तो ऐसा माना जाता है कि पितरों की कृपा आपके ऊपर है और वे आपसे ख़ुश है।


कुछ लोग कहते हैं की व्यक्ति मरकर सबसे पहले कौवे के रूप में जन्म लेता है और उसे खाना खिलाने से वह भोजन पितरों को मिलता है

शायद हम सबने अपने घर के किसी बड़े बुज़ुर्ग, किसी पंडित या ज्योतिषाचार्य से ये सुना होगा। वे अनगिनत किस्से सुनाएंगे, कहेंगे बड़े बुज़ुर्ग कह गए इसीलिए ऐसा करना

शायद ही हमें कोई इसके पीछे का वैज्ञानिक कारण बता सके।

हमारे ऋषि मुनि और पौराणिक काल में रहने वाले लोग मुर्ख नहीं थे! कभी सोचियेगा कौवों को पितृ पक्ष में खिलाई खीर हमारे पूर्वजों तक कैसे पहुंचेगी?

हमारे ऋषि मुनि विद्वान थे, वे जो बात करते या कहते थे उसके पीछे कोई न कोई वैज्ञानिक कारण छुपा होता था।

एक बहुत रोचक तथ्य है पितृ पक्ष, भादो( भाद्रपद) प्रकृति और काक के बीच।

एक बात जो कह सकते कि हम सब ने स्वतः उग आये पीपल या बरगद का पेड़/ पौधा किसी न किसी दीवार, पुरानी

इमारत, पर्वत या अट्टालिकाओं पर ज़रूर देखा होगा। देखा है न?

ज़रा सोचिये पीपल या बरगद की बीज कैसे पहुंचे होंगे वहाँ तक? इनके बीज इतने हल्के भी नहीं होते के हवा उन्हें उड़ाके ले जा सके।
