In order to deal with the stress of watching a far superior Liverpool lose against Real Madrid last night, I decided to distract myself by selling at Chichester Market. Bright sunshine and a few sales so can't complain.
Just had what I call a very successful day at a local auction. Five boxes of documents, including many 16th and 17th century. Lots to sort through so I think I will be kept busy over the next few weeks. Should be some good material for a podcast too!
DR. SCOTT, Director
The Founding Director of Explore History is Dr. Scott McLean. Scott has a PhD in Modern British history and a Masters in British medieval history. He began his academic career at the University of Guelph, Canada, before moving to England in 1999 to work at Queen's University (Canada) Bader International Study Centre at Herstmonceux Castle. Teaching at the BISC offered the opportunity to not only meet some wonderful students and travel to historic sites, but teach a wide range of courses in British and European history (sometimes as many as 15 courses a year!) It also allowed him to dabble in archaeology.
This resulted in him establishing the schools first Field School in British Archaeology and through this make some amazing discoveries. It also allowed him to indulge one of his other great passions - collecting old documents and items of historical interest. This website is built upon this life-long interest in things historical, his passion for teaching - at all age levels - and exploring history.
