I haven’t written any books in this series but I have certainly consulted them. As an art historian I really enjoy seeing how visual culture can enrich our understanding of history.

While not academic, these books have a great reach into the community and ensure that the author’s name becomes well known locally. This means you get many enquiries that need to be flicked to the local studies librarian but there are also advantages to being seen locally as someone with historical credibility.

As the author of three books in this Kingsclear series I want to add how interesting they are to research and write, and how Trove has transformed the process.
