History Carnival Reminder

The next History Carnival will be hosted on Monday 1 August by Will Franklin at WILLisms.

Email your nominations and self-nominations for recently published posts (since 15 July) about history to the host: willisms[at]gmail[dot]com.

You should include in your email: the title and permalink URL of the blog post you wish to nominate and the author's name (or pseudonym) and the title of the blog. (It's also helpful if you put"History Carnival" somewhere in the title of the email.) 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).

Entries for the carnival certainly don't have to be heavyweight scholarship, but they must adhere to basic standards of factual accuracy and use of sources. They could be focused on a historical topic or, alternatively, they may be reflections on the particular challenges and rewards of studying, researching and teaching history, and on representations and uses of history. Entries should go beyond merely posting web links or of quotes from other sources with no (or virtually no) analysis.
