Archives are not only sources for history but have their own histories too, which shape how historians can tell stories of the past. In Managing Paperwork in Mamluk Cairo: Archives, Waqf and Society (Edinburgh UP, 2025), Daisy Livingston explores the archival history of one of the most powerful polities of the late-medieval Middle East: the ‘Mamluk' sultanate of Cairo. Relying on surviving original documents, Livingston focuses on archival practices connected to waqf, the pious endowments that became one of the characteristic features of late-medieval Islamic societies. By centering a close exploration of documents connected to processes of endowment and property exchange, this book sheds light on a startling culture of document accumulation that was shared by the diverse social groups involved in founding and managing endowments: sultans and emirs, qadis, legal notaries, and scribes. Emphasizing the documents' life cycles from production, to preservation, to disposal and loss, it argues for the use of surviving documents to tell their own archival histories. Daisy Livingston is Associate Professor of Medieval Islamic History in the Department of History at Durham University. As a historian of the medieval Middle East, in particular Egypt between the tenth and sixteenth centuries, her research focuses on various aspects of documentary culture, especially histories of archiving. Jen Hoyer is Technical Services and Electronic Resources Librarian at CUNY New York City College of Technology. She is co-author of What Primary Sources Teach: Lessons for Every Classroom (2022) and The Social Movement Archive (2021), and co-editor of Armed By Design: Posters and Publications of Cuba's Organization of Solidarity of the Peoples of Africa, Asia, and Latin America (2025).

The future of at least two government Ministries looks uncertain with the Public Service Commissioner refusing to rule out major changes for the Ministries for Women and Pacific Peoples. Mata presenter Mihingarangi Forbes spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
Send us a textWhat does it truly mean to "go" for the gospel? Eric and Lena Bauer's powerful testimony challenges our comfortable Christianity as they share their remarkable journey from corporate America to international missions. After twenty years in banking, Eric found himself unexpectedly unemployed—a door God deliberately closed like "a bank vault" to redirect his path. Meanwhile, Lena wrestled with a convicting truth: "anything where you are not fully obeying God and putting Him first is sin."Their transformation didn't happen overnight. Short-term mission experiences became pivotal moments, particularly when Eric shared the gospel with a Muslim cab driver in New York City and later witnessed several people accept Christ during his travels. These divine appointments crystallized their calling, prompting immediate action—they began their application process with the International Mission Board literally the next day. Their three-year journey reveals God's perfect orchestration, as they waited through family caregiving responsibilities while completing seminary training and navigational application hurdles.Now heading to the Asia Pacific region where 95% of people "live in spiritual darkness," the Bauers will join a missionary team that God assembled from nothing to reach unreached people groups. They'll implement the Core Missionary Task: entering the culture through language learning, sharing the gospel, discipling new believers, forming churches, developing local leadership, and eventually partnering with established congregations to reach even further.For anyone feeling God's nudge toward missions—whether across the street or across oceans—the Bauers offer practical wisdom: pray sincerely about God's direction, surrender daily to His leading, actively seek opportunities to share Christ, and consider short-term trips as discernment tools. As Eric powerfully reminds us from John 4: "Lift up your eyes and see that the fields are white for harvest already." Will you join in the harvest through prayer, giving, or going yourself?New episodes every Mondaywww.lifehousemot.cominfo@lifehousede.com Join us Sundays at 9 & 11 AM Intro music by Joey Blair
For four decades, a statue dedicated to an Abenaki Chief stood in Burlington's Battery Park. The wooden statue was recently removed due to decay and rot. Deciding how to honor a complex part of history is never easy. We'll talk with a Norwich professor about Northeastern Indigenous history, the director general of Odanak First Nation in Quebec, and a state representative for Burlington.City leaders in Burlington continue to debate how to address illegal activity in public spaces like drug use and sleeping outside. Ahead of a key city council meeting tonight, Seven Days reporter Courtney Lamdin updates us on a proposal to increase police presence in Burlington's City Hall Park.

In progressive religion, African-Americans occupy a sacred caste status—beyond criticism, requiring constant resource redistribution. Yet this narrative ironically continues black America's core historical theme: dehumanization. Leftists project onto black Americans whatever serves their power needs rather than seeing them authentically. Growing up in majority-black Philadelphia taught me that most progressives from whiter areas fundamentally misunderstand black culture, perpetuating the very dehumanization they claim to oppose.

Peoples & Things host, Lee Vinsel, talks with Mary Bridges, Ernest May Fellow in History and Policy at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, about her book, Dollars and Dominion: US Bankers and the Making of a Superpower. Dollars and Dominion takes an infrastructural view of banking institutions and examines how US banks, almost by accident, became a durable part of the global financial system in the first half of the 20th century, supporting the global dominance of the US dollar after World War II. Vinsel and Bridges also discuss the benefits and limitations of using infrastructure as a framework of analysis and the next projects Bridges is working on. Lee wrote a new essay for the Peoples & Things newsletter, “Disinvestment and Decline in Infrastructure Studies,” inspired by a key moment in the discussion. Learn more about your ad choices.

Researchers and archivists have spent decades digitizing and cataloguing, but what does the future hold for book history? Network Analysis for Book Historians: Digital Labour and Data Visualization Techniques (ARC Humanities Press, 2025) explores the potential of network analysis as a method for medieval and early modern book history. Through case studies of the Cotton Library, the Digital Index of Middle English Verse, and the Pforzheimer Collection, Liz Fischer offers a blueprint for drawing on extant scholarly resources to visualize relationships between people, text, and books. Such visualizations serve as a new form of reference work with the potential to offer new, broad insights into the history of book collecting, compilation, and use. This volume gives a realistic look at the decision-making involved in digital humanities work, and emphasizes the value of so-called "mechanical" labour in scholarship. Liz Fischer is an independent scholar and full-time consultant working with GLAM institutions on data and AI. Fischer's current research focuses on applications of network analysis to book history. Liz's general interests include medieval & early modern English book history, craftsmanship, antiquarianism, and digital humanities, and areas of specialty in the DH world include network analysis, collections-as-data, workflow automation, and web development. Check out the Atlas of a Medieval Life: The Itineraries of Roger de Breynton, discussed in this episode! Jen Hoyer is Technical Services and Electronic Resources Librarian at CUNY New York City College of Technology. She is co-author of What Primary Sources Teach: Lessons for Every Classroom (2022) and The Social Movement Archive (2021), and co-editor of Armed By Design: Posters and Publications of Cuba's Organization of Solidarity of the Peoples of Africa, Asia, and Latin America (2025).

BEFORE and AFTER ISRAEL'S 9/11: Aftermath of the October 7 Catastrophe, and Rays of Hope by Helen BirnbaumA timely narrative that chronicles the amicable bridges between Jews and Muslims that existed before the October 7 disaster, and the connections that continue to grow since this date.A brief description is given of the October 7 (2023) attacks against Israeli civilians by terrorists from Gaza. These attacks were exceptionally brutal and triggered the vicious Israel-Gaza war. At first, world opinion sympathized with the Israeli victims, but this rapidly shifted to support for the terrorists, who had initiated the conflict. Despite the growing anti-Israel protests in the West, Arab voices began to speak up for Israel, both locally and worldwide. They warn the West about the underlying agenda of radical Islam whose first ‘port of call' is Israel.The repercussions and revelations of October 7 are discussed in the book, but the main focus is on the rapport between Jews and Muslims, two Peoples who are traditionally perceived as enemies.Born and bred in South Africa.Studied Biology. Lecturer and researcher at the university in Johannesburg before moving to Israel. Worked for twenty years in the chemical industry, specializing in the safe handling and use of pesticides and other hazardous chemicals.The author's first book (Healthy Body, Peaceful Mind, Awakened Spirit) focuses on holistic healing techniques, and our need to recognize and honor the body-mind-spirit continuum that makes up every human being.More recently, her attention was captured by reports in the media about the many beneficial contacts occurring across the Jewish-Muslim ethnic divide. She noticed that the follow-up on such reports was negligible, while the headlines that screamed “violence” took center stage.Then October 7 happened.The October 7 terrorist attacks could have destroyed the potential for peaceful coexistence between Jews and Muslims in Israel and worldwide. However, amidst the tragedies of war, the author uncovered benevolent events that were bringing people together across the religious chasm. Thus the “good news” narrative continued, highlighting the sparks of hope manifesting as Muslims (and others) coming forth and speaking up for Israel.The author believes that mutual respect and understanding are essential for overcoming the antipathy between these two peoples who have been at loggerheads for centuries despite sharing a common ancestry and displaying many common attributes.AMAZONhttps://www.urlinkpublishing.comhttp://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/81425hburl.mp3
