Welcome, everybody!

Greetings, everyone and anyone! Welcome to The History Junkie. I'm a history major at the University of Alabama, and I want to study museum studies in grad school. I'm fascinated by history of any kind, but I especially love American history. 


I plan to use this blog to post whatever strikes my historical fancy, but you can expect these things:

•  Photos of my collections of vintage and antique jewelry, books, magazines, bottles, fossils, and other various interesting old things 
• Interesting text from old books and magazines I have
• Interesting advertisements
• Links to cool historical websites I've come across
• Photos of old cemeteries
• Photos and information about historic sites I've been to or want to visit
• Interesting trivia and facts
• Recommendations of books (kids' books, historical fiction, non-fiction, and also interesting finds I've made on Google books)
• Ghost stories and folk tales
• Profiles of historical figures
• Local history
• Historical recipes and crafts
• Tips on dating collectibles
• The occasional family history tidbit or anecdote
• Information on events and shops relating to history or antiques
• Current events pertaining to history or archaeology
• Profiles of UNICEF World Heritage Sites

All that to say this will be a melting pot of all things historical. But I'd love for y'all to share things with me too! Together we can learn more about our shared past.


Always,
Callie
