We just learned that we've lost the irreplaceable, legendary Dr. William (Bill) Burr, who gave us so much with his work for @nsarchive.bsky.social. What a loss, but what a legacy he lives behind.

A super opportunity for graduate students: networks.h-net.org/group/announ...

Absolutely worth a read. Whatever your interests, you'll find something: nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-boo...

"Napoleon's Lost Treasure for Stalin's 70th Birthday" One of the most bizarre Soviet #counterintelligence pursuits I discovered while researching #KGB files at Hoover Archives. @hooverinstitution.bsky.social @socintelhist.bsky.social Read it here: tinyurl.com/muc3chyk
