History Carnival Reminder

Don't forget that the next History Carnival will be at Siris on July 1st. Be sure to send your submissions and nominations to me at branem2[at]branemrys[dot]org (with @ for [at] and . for [dot], of course). You can find information about the posts we're looking for at the History Carnival website; we're very open about the sort of posts that can be involved, as long as the posts are genuinely history-related, involve some real analysis or discussion, and conform to reasonable standards in the use of evidence and argument. The deadline for submissions is 11:00 p.m. on June 30; but please try to get it in before then.

If you haven't ever submitted a post to the History Carnival, consider doing so. Click on the above link to get the gist of what we're looking for. The posts should conform to reasonable standards of historical research and inquiry, but history is a very broad subject; if you think about it you might well come across some historical topic or issue about which you are particularly well informed, or which you can fairly easily research. For that matter, if you are in doubt, send it to me anyway, with a brief note about your doubts. I have to determine whether posts qualify or not, anyway, so it's no burden to look at it.

There will be at least one more reminder before the deadline. Thanks for those who have already submitted; those who haven't, take a moment to think about what you might submit.
