About Andrew Chapman
What is Histories, then?
Histories is a regular newsletter exploring the hidden corners of history, usually in the English-speaking world, often Britain as that’s where we’re based, but also the USA and beyond.
Each week we’ll send you an article on a historical theme. Andrew’s Histories channel offers carefully curated excerpts from articles, diaries, letters and memoirs of the past; these alternate with Paul’s History of Things series, delving into the stories behind everyday objects and products we take for granted.
If you enjoy reading these articles, please consider a paid subscription as a small form of patronage!
Histories is brought to you by history journalist and editor Andrew Chapman – I’ve been writing in the history field since 2003.
