Last fall we learned about an exciting new publication about the American Civil War. This brand new quarterly magazine is called the Civil War Monitor, and it looks to bridge the gulf between academic and popular history. According to the magazine, it is “devoted to the belief that popular history need not be superficial or sentimental.”
Several things: 1. Yes, I do follow the naval history tumblr, 2. Cole Haan is selling those boots right now. 3. This is an American Studies magazine (how silly!) 4. This one’s for you, Miss Taylor.

Announcing the National Archives Transcription Pilot Project!
You can help the National Archives make historical documents more accessible by contributing to transcriptions!
Transcriptions help in searching for the document as well as in reading and understanding the document. The work you do transcribing a handwritten or typed document will help the next person discover and use that record.
Available documents include letters to a civil war spy, presidential records, suffrage petitions, and fugitive slave case files, and today’s featured document - the Credentials of Hiram Rhodes Revels.
omg! how fun is this!??! it’s like i get to work on my thesis all over again but without the pressure. SO MUCH FUN!

“I thought he’d instantly pick up on the romanticism of just running away. But 14-year-olds don’t understand romanticism because they haven’t watched Woody Allen films yet.”
