The Royal Archives digitized the papers of King George III and posted them online. George III is often misunderstood and this papers help shed light on the King. I created this assignment to allow students to explore those papers. Feel free to download and use in your classroom. 
Hello and welcome to my portfolio of my non-library work. I am a genealogist and thoroughly enjoy historic research. If I think of a topic, I usually research it out. Over the past decade I also discovered that I have a creative streak that I never knew I had. My first post I will feature something that I did in High School: a textbook on the Romanovs focusing on the Tsar Nicholas II. I got into the Romanov family watching a documentary on Anna Anderson and researched them out. It was in 1998 when Russia buried the Last Tsar and members of his family. The story of their murder caught my attention and made me fall in love with history. Sadly, I did not know that I should cite my sources, however I did get a lot of the material from the Alexander Palace Time Machine and the Livadia website. |
