I am revamping my blog

Blog, Blog Admin, Change, Personal Post

As recent visitors to this site might have noticed, I took a break from blogging while completing my Master’s Thesis. And now, I’ve come back with a new vision and new direction.

Though the blog will remain centred around history, and will frequently have posts about cool stuff going on the history world, it will be less focused on the student experience. The reason for this is simple – I am at a far different stage of my life than who I was when I first came up with the idea for TheHistoryHub. When I first started blogging, it was the beginning of my fourth year in university, and my attention was solely focused on school and more school.

Now, I have completed my Master’s Degree in History, and the future I am looking out to looks remarkably different. I now see that my path is to become a museum and archives professional – and that a PhD isn’t right for where I am in my life right now. While I will likely continue doing my own research (what would I do without constantly having a paper on the go?), it will now be outside the walls of academia. I’m now interested in different questions and different worlds. I’m looking closer inwards – to the local history and built heritage around me.

So while highlights of the old blog will remain, the new direction of the blog will be less about the academic world, and more about mine. There will likely be far more of these “personal posts.” (Since I apparently find myself very interesting).

I hope you guys, my wonderful visitors, will enjoy the change. Any and all feedback is welcome.

As always, keep calm and love history.

Lindsay

Film Review – Les Miserables

So I just got back from watching Les Miserables (Movie, 2012). Now I’m a musical person, but I have to say, that movie was absolutely phenomenal. The music was brilliant and is sure to be stuck in my head all week. All dates and major events were historically accurate. If you haven’t seen the movie, I highly recommend that you do. As one of my friends said after leaving the theatre, “I feel so inspired! I feel like starting a revolution!”

Vive La France!

Why I Started This Blog

19 Monday Nov 2012

Posted by Lindsay Kernohan in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

Let me start by saying that I love being a student. I love learning and being in the atmosphere of the university. If I could, I would be a professional student for the rest of my rest. Unfortunately, that’s not going to happen.

However, now that I’m in fourth year, reality has set in and I’ve been looking into what I’m going to do after graduation, and what career path I will take for the rest of my life.

So I did what I normally do – start researching like crazy. After all, research is one of the things I am best at. I researched graduate schools, volunteer and job opportunities. And I took my intense research and used it to make spreadsheets, word documents and everything else you could think of.

And I began talking to a lot of friends in the same situation as me about my research. Many were interested, because they were having difficulties with their own research.

And I realized that there was no place that was a compilation of all the resources that a history student might need. Graduate school information, job offers and volunteer opportunities are spread out everywhere. So my goal with this blog is to provide a place for links to all the places that a history student might need.

I will also be using the blog to link to interesting history articles or pictures. I will be writing posts on specific historical interests of mine, as well as things that I experience that I feel is relevant to the field.

So I hope this blog is useful and interesting to you all. Bringing history to the masses is a passion of mine. So thank you for stopping by and have fun perusing!
