Topic originated by Alan Rubin
The HSG blog was introduced about 5 years ago primarily to introduce each topic and as a means to archive all the discussions.
This has allowed all members timely information about each book as well as links to additional reference material.
Also, it was hoped that members would use the HSG blog for comments both before and after each monthly topic. Although this has not yet been the case, the necessity of our meeting only online for the foreseeable future may prove to be a reason for change.
I receive many emails with recommendations for topics and many interesting suggestions. Often, I am asked to pass information along to the membership.
I consider the HSG to be a member driven organization in which I function as a catalyst. So, I will again recommend that we use the HSG blog as our primary means of communication. Any member can access the site at www.historystudygroup.com.
It is not password protected since comments from non-members with expertise on a topic are welcome. This policy will continue so long a there is not any abuse.
Although email comments would be welcome, it would be preferable if members began using this blog.
Just click on the link at the right under "Categories" and type in your comments.
There is a comments link at the bottom of each post.
