Books Songs and Other Magic | Portsmouth: A Brief History and Tour of the Seafront for Historathon #history #portsmouth #pompey @bookssongsandothermagic | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
I have been meaning to do this video for a while; a brief history of my City, where I was born and lived all of my life - Portsmouth.
It's a rich City with a long history, which I touch on here.
I could have mentioned all sorts of other things, but I thought I would give a general history, while travelling around the seafront, in honour of this year's Historathon event.
I combined it with another idea I had, which was 3 tips for getting into History book reading, if you're tempted but think the whole thing is a bit daunting.
Hope you like the quick tour and the advice for reading!
Thanks for watching!
HISTORATHON 2024
Historathon is a year-long celebration of reading historical nonfiction. The goal is to read, discuss, and spotlight works of history, and to encourage reluctant readers to give history a try. The calendar year will be divided into three-month blocks, with each block focusing on a particular period of time:
Jan-March = Prehistory-500 CE
April-June = 500-1500
July-Sept = 1500-1820
Oct-Dec = 1820-Present
To participate, simply read a work of history that falls into the time period for each quarterly segment of the year. Read more if you’d like! Tailor the choices to your interests or try something completely new.
Historathon "Side Quests": We will also be encouraging/participating in history-related activities throughout the year, including watching historical films/documentaries, trying historical recipes, listening to historical music, etc. Feel free to join us!
We will be using the hashtag: #historathon2024
To join in on VOXER, contact any cohost and we'll be happy to add you.
