I’ve also recently had a couple of interesting web reviews from H-Atlantic:
A Virtual Tour of New Netherland
You might also want to visit their book reviews page.
There will be more from this source tomorrow: it’s time to do the conference listings again!
From H-Atlantic, news of some fellowships in the US:

Welcome to the new EMN. Don’t forget to change bookmarks and feeds.
I’m still tweaking things around a bit, but it looks good to go. I haven’t tried working out how to make the URLs nice for archive posts yet; I read those particular instructions and ran away for the time being. I’m also dithering over whether to have 3 columns, but it’s a bit very complicated. I also haven’t attempted to import posts from the Blogger original, and don’t know whether I’ll bother or not. Until (if) I do, I’ll keep a link on this page for reference purposes.
Update: Just remembered to check it out in Netscape and Opera as well as IE, and it looks OK (slightly different, as is to be expected, but nothing nasty). If you’re using a different browser and it looks weird in any way, let me know and I’ll see what I can do. I should probably also check that the HTML for the template still validates after my tinkerings, I suppose.
Maybe.
Later.
Come back later.
It will be worth it.
