The History Carnival is one of the most popular carnivals on the web. Sharon Howard of the University of Wales, who nursed it to popularity, is off for the summer as she takes a new job and moves.
Clews is happy to coordinate the next two carnivals (June 15 and July 1) and after that, it will be handled by a blogger who calls herself Another Damned Medievalist at her site, called Blogenspiel. (An interesting word -- supposed to sound like glockenspiel? I only know the reference because everyone in Michigan has downed fried chicken and beer in the shadow of the Frankenmuth glockenspiel.)
Eventually Sharon will be back at the wheel. Meanwhile, the new job she is taking will involve putting thousands of historical crime records on the internet. Additional records of London's Old Bailey court are being digitized. They won't be online for a few years, but what a treat awaits~!!
The next edition of the History Carnival will be posted on Thursday, June 15 at the American Presidents blog. If you have read an interesting blog entry in the last week or two on an historical subject, please submit it to Jennie Weber, at coppertop67 AT hotmail DOT com or use the form.
Blogenspiel is a great word. Not only does it sound like glockenspiel, but spiel means "play" in German, so it adds an interesting meaning as well.
