Found History explores public history and digital humanities in all their forms. By taking seriously the work of amateurs and professionals alike, as well as new modes of digital scholarship and learning, Found History aims to foster a broader, more democratic understanding of what history and the humanities are.

I like the idea for this blog. Basically, finding history around you and posting about it. It’s not a blog with a lot of updates. It’s found history, you can’t control what you find or how you find it at the time. I’ve seen other sites about found items like postcards, photographs, hand drawn maps, etc. Each of those is a found history in itself. But there is so much more to history. History happens all around us, every day and in every way.
