A LITTLE HISTORY<\/b><\/p>\n

I hope to have a number of posts of my own up later today but here are two on history and historians that caught my eye:<\/p>\n

“When Archivists Deal with Power Players<\/a>” by Dr. Maarja Krusten <\/strong>
<\/strong>
I “know” Maarja from our interaction on H-Diplo<\/strong> <\/a>and at HNN<\/strong> <\/a>and she brings a wealth of knowledge to the table regarding the politics of the National Archives ( interestingly enough, she had, if I recall, doubts about Bush’s appointment of Cold War scholar Allen Weinstein<\/strong> <\/a>to head the National Archives, something I strongly supported; I’m betting her opinion of Weinstein is more favorable today). The piece will also interest those readers, like Lexington Green<\/a><\/strong>, who have an interest in Richard Nixon.<\/p>\n

“Training the Next Generation of Historians<\/a> ” by Kevlvn<\/strong><\/p>\n

A great post at ProgressiveHistorians<\/a><\/strong> on the future of the historical profession and the relationship that universities and professional historians could have in improving the education of K-12 students in history and their own teaching of undergraduates (the quality level of which, to put it kindly, is uneven). A commendable post and one that touches on the larger question of the mission of the American university in the 21st century.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
