I’m not sure how this one crept up on me silently, but -

Today is the British Library’s “One day in History” Day.

They’re calling for as many Brits as possible to write about their day today and submit their account online, creating “a mass blog for the national record”. The British Library have already started publishing people’s entries here, and have committed themselves to preserving everything they receive for ever and ever. I suppose the only question is whether humans will expire before their hard copies do?

So, email your friends and get on the phone to your Mum and Dad and see if you can persuade them to write a few words and post them up. After all, if you’re reading this you must think blogs are even just a teeny weeny bit worthwhile.

But if it doesn’t tickle your fancy, you can always shimmer over to Clioweb which is hosting the latesd all-singing all-dancing History Carnival. The Aztecs, the Athenians and the Australians all get a look in - and it’s all the more fascinating for its lively crop of women’s history (including one or two numbers by Yours Truly).
