The Institute of Historical Research published a blog post yesterday that I find intriguing, for two reasons.
First, of course, is food. Restoration celebrity Samuel Pepys loved food and drink, and the history of food is a great way to approach the era.
But the other thing that’s intriguing is their quiz. In order to answer, you must use their digital library British History Online, a new collection of primary sources from the medieval and early modern eras. Would this be a good way to get students to learn to use a database?
