Let's get this @academicchatter moving with a question every academic can chime in on:

What are the top websites/blogs you go to for news of what's going on in your field?

@IanSudbery @ml @academicchatter
The websites I like in medieval and classics studies tend to be individual blogs of musings:

Armand Angour, Little Latin and More Greek

And @mssprovenance has the wonderful Medieval Manuscripts Provenance

Longshot request: does anyone have an image of BL Harley MS 2736, fol. 108r? The British Library's images are still unavailable. Thanks!

The British Library says (as of May 1st) that "most" of its special collections are now available in the reading rooms.

Has anyone tested this? I'm eager to get back to a 9th c. MS for an article that's in review.

"Access to some archival and manuscript material is still restricted, but the majority of special collections held at St Pancras are now once again available."

Early medievalists: does anyone by chance have a copy of Frank Carey's typewritten list of MSS from St. Germain d'Auxerre? I've seen a dozen footnotes citing it but only as a photocopy at IRHT in France or the Vatican Library
-- Catal. I. 26.9 (int 22).

"MSS from the Scriptorium of Saint-Germain d 'Auxerre" (1956) 5pp

WorldCat doesn't know it. Not in IA or Google Books. Thanks!
