The next History Carnival will be hosted by Eric Scott Kaufman at Acephalous on Saturday 15 October.

Email your nominations for recently published posts (preferably since the last carnival) about history to the host: scotterickaufman [at] gmail.com or acephalous [at] gmail.com.

The History Carnival is not just for academics and specialists and entries don't have to be heavyweight scholarship! But they do have to uphold certain standards of factual accuracy and integrity in the use of sources. They may be focused on a historical topic, reflections on the particular challenges and rewards of studying, researching and teaching history, reviews of history books or web resources, discussions of 'popular' histories, etc.

You should include in your email: the title and permalink URL of the blog post you wish to nominate and the author's name and the title of the blog. (Please put"History Carnival" somewhere in the title of the email.) You can submit multiple suggestions, both your own writing and that of others, but please try not to submit more than one post by any individual author for each Carnival (with the exception of multi-part posts on the same topic).

If you have any further questions about the criteria for inclusion, check out the Carnival homepage (link above).

Please pass on the word!
