Ralph Luker has posted the sad news on Cliopatria that after over eight years of keeping the history community up to date on scholarship and news in the field, this essential blog is closing up shop. Especially in the early days of the Legal History Blog 5 1/2 years ago, Cliopatria was an essential source that I visited every morning. Best wishes to Ralph and fellow bloggers. It just won't be the same without you!
