THE LATEST FROM OUR SHOP

Been awhile since I last posted so thought I would share some pics of what I picked up today. Fabulous collection of 13 small vellum documents. Only just started to take a closer look, but as they are in Latin the research will take some time. They appear to be from the period 1560 to 1670, and are related to people and properties in Eckington ,
which I believe is in Derbyshire. Let the fun begin!
Here is a pic of a fab collection of Roman antiquities I picked up today. Should keep the shop stocked for a a little while. Coins, rings, brooches, and glass.
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.
