I may be behind the times, but I only now discovered something called History Carnival (it began in January 2005 and happens twice a month). You can read about the whole thing at that info site, but essentially this is an ongoing series of substantial blog entries that pass from one historian to another (both professionals and solid amateurs) and that guide you to a variety of good history-related blogs or blog-entries.

The current History Carnival XVI is hosted on Respectful Insolence (a.k.a. “Orac Knows”), a very wide-ranging blog by an “academic surgeon and scientist” whose historical interests are in WW II and the Holocaust. The next History Carnival (XVII) will be hosted by Lisa Roy Vox, a doctoral candidate at Emory U. (aka the Apocalyptic Historian), an expert in modern apocalypticism. So I’m looking forward to that one as well. Perhaps I should soon slip in a few more apocalyptic entries in my own blog to see if I make it into mention. (After all, I’m teaching a course on NT Apocrypha. . . maybe something on the Apocalypse of Peter to come;).
