We know you're out there!

Researchers who write Entries on History make up a very valued and important part of the Edited Guide. Don't let it be thought that History is all musty, dusty old books, men with long beards and arguments about history being only written by winners. History is interesting, fun, open to both winners AND losers, and on occasion, educational!

This is the Royal h2g2 Historians Society. That's 'royal' in the sense of 'of superior size, magnitude, or quality', of course - we don't have a Royal charter from any King or Queen and we're probably too disreputable to accept one if it were offered. We do have affiliations with the Royal h2g2 Geographical Institute and the Royal h2g2 Procrastinators Society, but mind you, h2g2 also has a resident President inferred at the Alabaster House - feel free to pop by and ask for funding to get your History Project off the ground.

Anyway, what are we here for? To help you write about history! From Colombus to World War II, from the Cold War to Nelson Mandela to Y2K - we can give you the assistance you might need to start your research, aid you with your project or generally pooh-pooh your ideas¹.
