Passing this information along to my readers & circle of 18th century blogging friends. You all know how much I love quizzes, blogging & historic clothing; having all 3 at once is just too good not to share.
Colonial Williamsburg on March 17-18 will be hosting a Colloquium
A Reconstructed Visitable Past:
Recreated Period Attire at Heritage Sites
DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum
Colonial Williamsburg.
Please see a note from our friend Abby Cox!
For the upcoming symposium on costume interpretation at Colonial Williamsburg this spring, I will be presenting a presentation entitled, "Educating and Constructing over the Internet: The Popularity, Potential, and Perks of Historical Costuming Blogs." which will discuss historical costuming blogs, their relevancy, influence, popularity, and influence on historical costuming and its interpretation. In order to provide valuable and quality information I have created a survey to provide a base foundation of research. This means I need reader & blogger participation, because, ultimately, this paper is about you, the bloggers and the readers. Your answers and opinions are greatly needed and I would really appreciate your participation. Questions are focused on historical costume blogs, sewing & reenacting, museums, some marketing, and your general opinions. The survey is anonymous, but I hope it is understood that I intend on using some comments as a part of my presentation.

Thank you so much!

I think it's great that you're talking about this! I've always felt that reenactors would be great bloggers, but there aren't that many out there, that I know of! Not only that, but those that *do* exist tend to be largely all of the 18th century period. I'd love to see more blogs from other periods out there! I reenact everything from F&I to Vietnam, though my blog is, for the moment, largely 20th century reenacting focused. You can find it here: http://www.driftingfocus.com/historically-speaking/
