The History Carnival needs you
The next History Carnival will be held at St Nate's Blog on Sunday 15 May!
Email your nominations - your own blog writing or that of other bloggers to: saint_nate AT hotmail DOT com (replace AT with @, DOT with . and close up the spaces), by the end of Saturday.
To remind you all of what we're looking for:
You should include in your email: the title and permalink of the blog post you wish to nominate and the author's name (or pseudonym) and the title of the blog.
You can submit multiple suggestions, 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).
The posts should have been published recently, certainly within the previous month, and preferably since the last Carnival (1 May).
And finally, please pass on the word!

To remind you all of what we're looking for:
History is an enormous subject, and we hope a wide range of blogs and topics can be represented so that there will always be something familiar and something unexpected for everyone. It must be stressed that it's not just for academics and specialists, that entries certainly 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. All submissions will be vetted by the host, whose decision is final. They may be focused on a historical topic, on the author's particular research interests or, alternatively, they may be reflections on the particular challenges and rewards of studying, researching and teaching history. Other examples of possible candidates for inclusion could include reviews of history books or web resources, discussions of 'popular' histories (films, dramas and documentaries, novels, etc).
