History Blogging in Continental Languages
I remember the excitement only a few years ago when we first found someone doing history blogging in a language other than English. Now, I've just added to Cliopatria's History Blogroll a dozen continental language blogs that we hadn't listed earlier and sub-divided all of them by language group. The history blogroll now lists 75 history blogs in 10 continental languages: Bulgarian, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish. Spanish, German, and French are, by far, the largest language groups and each of them has a blog aggregator. Blogosphera de historia, Wissenschafts Café, and ClioWeb probably direct more traffic within their language groups than Cliopatria's History Blogroll does. Together, I hope, we help to create a sense of community, of common interest and purpose, among history bloggers.
