For some reason my original post has been removed, presumably by a moderator. Why?

For the record, Teribus, my PhD was awarded by London University, as was my degree and my MA. I'm not going to reveal its subject as I am a specialist in a particular historical area.

History isn't just about 'hard facts and knowledge', it's about those voices which are rarely recognised in 'official' accounts of events. It's about documents which, even now, have still not been released into the public domain. It's about creating a voice for those who are under-represented. It's about recognising that historians themselves have been limited in their understanding because of access restrictions and embedded prejudices.

Teribus and Keith really do not have a full appreciation of the nature of history.
