A New History Shenanigans Blog!
Hello, all! I just wanted to let everyone know that I have started a new history research shenanigans blog.
What was the impetus for this? Mainly because I wanted a dedicated space for historical research that I could show my classmates and teachers. I will continue to update this one - it has a special place in my heart - but it will mainly be a personal, travel, and writing blog, as opposed to this academic blog. Still, if you're interested in history, please check it out! If you're not interested in history, please check it out and be hooked on something amazing!
A roundup of existing posts:
Hello, World! (An introductory post.)
Nursing on a Sunny Day (a brief photo post so you can picture me)
Let's Start Talking about Postcards and Research Topics (the first of many MA thesis research posts)
Dr. Mary Walker Was One Classy Lady (a picture post dedicated to one of the most awesome American ladies of the 19th and early
20th centuries)
What is it about 1936? (A brief post in which I ponder why this date keeps coming up again and again while researching, instead of, say, 1935 or 1937, which were presumably also momentous years.)
AND MORE TO COME. I will likely continue to do periodic post roundups on this blog, too. :)
In other news, I began my second job as a research assistant today! I went the LIbrary and Archives Canada building and spent about four hours trolling through the early (1850s-1860s) records from the Kingston Penitentiary, searching for references to female prisoners. In fact, I may soon make a blog post on the subject of some of the crazy things I read about. Stay tuned for stories of the shenanigans of female prisoners...
