The hardest part of any real
research is to simply understand the material. Historical research is
filled with arcane terminology, nuances, and endless challenges. To help
with some of these hurdles I have begun compiling some (hopefully) useful pages
in this site to help the beginning enthusiast to better understand and research
bygone eras.As with
everything on this site, if you find something that you think is wrong or needs
correcting, please take a moment to EMAIL ME and let me know so that I can set it right. |
