Who teaches #19thCentury #handwriting?

After the completion of a successful #transcription #crowdsourcing project, our colleague asked the volunteers what she could do to thank them. To her surprise, most of them requested that the #archives hold a class on 19th-century handwriting, as the volunteers had become very interested in the different hands and scripts they'd encountered during the project.

I'd like to know if there are any instructors willing to conduct such a class--probably 1-2 hours long, either online or in the Boston area--but am not sure where to look. Were the request for #palaeography from a few centuries earlier, there would be plenty of options, but I'm really at a loss for experts on 19th-century (and perhaps early 20th-c?) #cursive.

Ah, writers of the 18th century 📜 Why would you simply say 'brothel' when you could say 'seminary for initiating youth in the mysteries of the Paphian Queen' ... ?

Tweeps, I watched Kevin Costner’s new #Yellowstone documentary and it made me a wee bit stabby.
