Today:
Welcome to this week's instalment of /r/AskHistorians' Sunday Digest (formerly the Day of Reflection). Nobody can read all the questions and answers that are posted here, so in this thread we invite you to share anything you'd like to highlight from the last week - an interesting discussion, an informative answer, an insightful question that was overlooked, or anything else.
AskHistorians blasts off with another super fantastic digest entry, compiling all those incredible answers written over the past week. Show some love and appreciation for the hard working contributors, don’t forget to check the weekly features, and enjoy!

That finishes me off for yet another day. My folders spent, I’m off to get some fresh air while everyone enjoys the great history. Keep it classy out there folks, and I’ll see you next week!
The Digest is also a chance to shout out the interesting, yet overlooked questions that caught our eye. Feel free to post up any questions you came across that make you burn with curiosity, and maybe we’ll get lucky and a wandering expert will stop by!
