*Archives Hub Collections of the Month
The February theme for the Collections of the Month is dialects, to coincide
with UNESCO's Mother Tongue Day on 21 February
(http://www.archiveshub.ac.uk/feb05.shtml).
The collections featured include the papers of individuals who wrote in
dialectal forms of English, or who collected and studied examples of dialect
words or speech.

(fl 1889), a trader in West Africa; and records of the University of
Oxford's Red Herring Club (http://www.archiveshub.ac.uk/news/index.html).
