Re your thoughtful editorial (20 June) on the future of important British political archives: the Churchill Archives have been carefully digitised over the past four years and have been published by Bloomsbury Academic on behalf of the archives. To mark the 50th anniversary of Winston Churchill’s death, these archives have been made available free-to-view in perpetuity by every schoolchild in US and UK, through the generosity of the philanthropist Laurence Geller, with a wealth of new content to help children understand the impact of Churchill on modern history (churchillarchiveforschools.com).

Flattered though I was to be praised by David Kynaston (Move over history boys, Review, 6 February), this piece misses the problem. Women do write history; the issue is why they are neglected. The academic profession needs to address this. Historians who want an academic job or promotion often... Continue reading at The Guardian
