…of very good sites about historical British aviation industry ads: http://www.aviationancestry.com/ http://www.content-delivery.co.uk/aviation/airfields/acads/ Reception studies would be great. But it’s much harder to do than content analysis! I’m not sure that professional and semi-professional magazines are the best place to look, though, for the kind of large-scale trends I’m asserting existed. If anyone in Britain was predisposed to thinking…
…etc past. So, to illustrate this, I’ll write this post chronologically by site (rather than chronologically by time of day visted!) With the exception of the above: that’s Clifford’s Tower, which should come in the middle somewhere, but it’s too pretty a picture not to put up front. I did say ‘nearly all’ — there doesn’t appear to be much from the prehistoric period. So I’ll start with the Romans, who called the city Eboracum. It was the centre o…
…in history blogging: best group blog, best individual blog, best new blog, best post, best series of posts and best writer. But there are two new categories for other forms of history social media: best Twitter feed and best podcast episode. And, even more significantly, I’m one of the judges (along with Katrina Gulliver and Shane Landrum) for two categories, best group blog and best new blog. So please make our decision as difficult as possible b…
…city — but I do find that a bit suspicious. This blown-up version from the site making the charge doesn’t seem to show any either. (Click for the full-size version.) What does that site actually claim? It’s about the history of Millwall Football Club, of all things. But the evidence presented by Gazza is potentially persuasive. The connection to Millwall FC is that their former home ground, the Den, is visible in the photo, and that there is no co…
…arrior – this is outside what was the Dominion Museum in Wellington http://www.rsa.org.nz/remem/unknown_warrior.html http://www.khantazi.org/Events/Carillon/Carillon.html JDK Thanks Errol. It’s the danger of trying to be definitive! Clearly the Auckland War Memorial Museum is fulfilling a very similar niche to the Australian War Memorial. Brett Holman Gavin: Somebody’s been improving himself! Thanks, that sounds more plausible than the translation…
…lfred Jarry would feel right at home. Editor Dave Ng combined Bruce Lee, SUVs, and DNA site-directed mutagenesis in his own manifesto of sorts, while Angela Beckett explained how to win a Nobel Prize. Collection Resurrection is a new blog by a recent graduate of my university’s public history program, now curating and restoring the collections of a small town Ontario museum. Seeds of Growth called Eli Whitney the original “Long Tail” entrepreneur….
…n for Windows), while LyX is the oldest. I make my TeX documents with vim (www.vim.org) because I need a powerful text editor (see the 7 habits of effective text editing at http://www.moolenaar.net/habits.html). As for fonts, it’s true that the default Computer Modern Roman fonts are bitmapped and thus jagged at high resolutions, which is why most journals require you to use vector fonts. You can either use the font packages (I use mathptmx for Ti…
…lear you are a poor student, as the rates may be different. The general website is: http://www.qmul.ac.uk/ I’ve also found these two e addresses. I’d contact them both: residences@qmul.ac.uk holiday@qmul.ac.uk Point out that you are not a kid and don’t want to be lumped in with them. There are lots of adults around in summer doing OU summer schools, which is nice. And it’s all next to the canal, which is almost like being at the seaside during the…
…to Stonehenge. Wiltshire County Council has a description of the aerodrome site and a map, which I’ve used to make the below. So it was a bit under a kilometre away, straddling the current position of the A303 which is the current blight on Stonehenge’s landscape. View Larger Map I wonder if there were any close encounters between Stonehenge and a bomber? (The photo at the top, from Wiltshire County Council, may well be a composite, and from the d…
