The Society’s Blog
On Monday 1st January 2007 we launched the Society’s Blog on the Internet.
What’s a blog ? – A definition from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog is:
"A blog is a user generated website where entries are made in journal style and displayed in a reverse chronological order.
Blogs often provide commentary or news on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual although some focus on photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), or audio (podcasting), and are part of a wider network of social media.
The term "blog" is derived from "Web log." "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
As a Society we now
receive numerous e-mails asking for local history information.
Unfortunately we are not able to answer many of these queries. But we
don't like the people who contact us to go away empty handed.
Creating a blog seemed the ideal solution. If you have any queries
please e-mail us with them in the usual way to ctlhs@fsmail.net.
Indicating that you are happy for your query to go on the web. Include
images if you wish (as long as you hold the copyright). Also let us
know if you are happy to to be contacted directly via e-mail and we'll add
your e-mail address.
We are keen for the local history community to add comments to add any
query placed on the blog. Please feel free to do so if you can help
out.

Now we are able to
sell our publications to you via the
FFHS on-line bookshop at www.genfair.com
