Some of you probably know me as that crazy history buff who collects antiques and has a love of period dramas and such...which is why I love MM. Anyway, for the past 9 months or so, I've also been the editor of a new online history magazine. I thought I would share it with you  I write for a small company called The Australia Times (Abbrev. as 'TAT') and I was offered the post of their History editor. So I operate the running and content of the company's magazine devoted to history of all kinds. Here are the issues so far... Issue No. 1: Home Life at the Turn of the Last Century... www.theaustraliatimes.com/magazine/history/issue/101/Cover image is actually a photograph of my desk Issue No. 2: The Golden Age of Travel (Part I) www.theaustraliatimes.com/magazine/history/issue/102/Cover image is a poster advertising the RMS Titanic Issue No. 3: WWI www.theaustraliatimes.com/magazine/history/issue/103/Cover image is a propaganda poster about zeppelin air-raids. Issue No. 4: The Golden Age of Travel (Part II) www.theaustraliatimes.com/magazine/history/issue/104/Cover image is a poster advertising the Orient Express. Issue 5 is coming out next month. Subject: The History of the Modern Police Force. |

Subject: The History of the Modern Police Force. Congratulations!!!! Anything shippy in it? j/k Zeppelin air raids - cooooooooooooooooool!  (but not to those underneath the zeppelin, of course...) Look at you rocking the glasses and the sweater vest!  I really love that online preview! This is making me nostalgic for honeymoon travel that didn't happen.  |

Subject: The History of the Modern Police Force. I hope everyone is checking this out, because you can read the full stories in the magazine! Shangas could be an MM consultant!  Unfortunately it's very slow to load on my computer - I may have to go out in a few minutes and continue perusing later. This looks like such a terrific job for a history/antiques buff, though! Congratulations again, Shangas! |

I like that it covers world history, and not just the history of Australia! And it seems to focus on 19th and early 20th century. Good MM background! |

The magazine covers a LOT of stuff. Not just Australian history. It covers world history. Everything which I can think of and write about.
And it will cover a lot more than just the 19th and 20th centuries. I'm just starting there so that people can get eased into it more easily.

I think it's a good idea to start where people might actually have antiques - get into their Antiques Roadshow mentality, so to speak! |

I have a list, dozens of ideas long, about future issues. I just read the whole first issue. Well done! I can relate to the sewing machines:I learned to sew on my mom's black Singer, that folded down into a small table. I still sew on a simple machine: a Juki industrial. That thing can sew through anything. And yes,after my adventure renting a Victorian dress to attend the 100th episode screening, I am thinking about going all out and making my own. On my Juki of course. When I was young (only a couple of years ago ) my mom had a wringer washer. Surely a step up from the contraption in your article used to wring the clothes which she and her mother probably used. With seven children, that machine saw a lot of use. I had no idea how complicated it was to operate a wood or coal burning stove as I have no experience with that. I really like cooking, and eating, so I am very glad to have my modern appliances! i am looking forward to reading more when I have time. |

My mom had a pink sewing machine when I was young - I think it was a Singer - and the noise scared the heck out of me! The Saturday newspaper frequently included sewing patterns, so I ended up with many matching skirt/short and kerchief sets.  |
