There’s some major security flaws in History Nexus that allow spammers in so I’m closing down the new registration form for a while. I need to spend some time over the next week working matters out.

Hello, #67 coming right at yer!
In the tradition of alternative presentations of the History Carnival I’ve grouped items into (loose!) categories and added a music video to fit each category.

Eastside Community Heritage is a registered charity based in east London and has dealt with various projects over the years, whether based on local geographic areas or distinct identity groups such as the Chinese or Bengalis.
The website had to conform to international web design and accessibility guidelines.
Check out the Eastside Community Heritage website.
Tags: East London History, Eastside Community HeritageThe Co-operative tradition has a long pedigree here in the UK. Based in the 19th century labour movement, it has evolved out of practical self-help in the form of affordable goods and banking needs for ordinary working class people.
It’s easy to forget that it’s only in recent times that banks have been inviting to everybody.
The co-operatives that existed – mainly in the industrial north of England – had a hard time staying solvent and many disappeared just as soon as new ones arrived. By the middle of the 19th century the movement had stablised somewhat as new start-ups learned the lessons of their failed predecessors.

Tags: History CarnivalJohn Simkin is in an elite cyberspace pack – he has his own Wikipedia entry. He’s up there with Margaret Thatcher, Keith Fleet and Will Geer ( the actor that played Zebulon "Grandpa" Walton in the American television series, The Waltons ).
What he done in life so be to bestowed with such an eulogy? His leading role in the Spartacus Educational website, one of the webs most popular history sites.

Once upon a time, say ten years ago or more, you could launch a site and it would be fairly straight forward for other internet users to find it.
Not any more. The sheer number of published websites is mind-blowing.
Over one billion people across the world now have access to the net.

It’s a testament to its continuing attraction that a host of high-profile (in Britain at least) working-class actors and comedians have played roles: Johnny Vegas is the ever-suffering Easton, Paul Whitehouse Old Hunter and Bill Bailey the employer Ruston. Even the former Deputy Prime minister, John Prescott, makes a brief appearance as a policeman.
