Congratulations to our VP Emily! A lesser known fact about the Puritans was their love of printers and photocopiers!

[UMHiSA @umhisaundergrad]

Thanks to those who entered our Historical Costume Contest! One winner, Emily, was a Puritan witch and our second, Avery, was Winston Churchill. Shoutout to Prof. @SeanCarleton for his Leonardo costume! It was very fitting for his ‘Comics, Graphic Novels, and History’ Seminar

“One of my favourite history facts is that the saying “mind your own beeswax” is because early forms of makeup contained beeswax, so if you stood too close to the fire the heat would melt it off!”

“It makes you realize how many rules/concepts we have constructed that seem inherent, but aren’t. I love exploring historical topics/beliefs that modern readers view as dark or morbid. I often wonder what of our practices people of the future will find horrifying or odd.” (2/2)
