Thursday Thirteen 022: Research History.
Apr. 19th, 2012 04:33 pmThis Thursday Thirteen, I decided to post the last thirteen things I’ve read as part of research for a book. Some of these are for a semi-sekret project, some for “City of Jade” and some for the Archangels books.
1. Silk Road timeline.
2. Arcana of the Grail Angel.
3. Homily for the Day of Archangel Michael.
4. Unusual Motives for Murder.
5. Motives for Murder for Authors.
6. History of Chinese Immigration to Adelaide.
7. 1920s Beaded Flapper Dress.
8. Communist Party of Australia.
9. Fan-tan.
10. Dream Hatcher cottage.
11. Stuffed Green Peppers Recipe.
12. Digitised Newspapers Records for Chinese Immigration in Adelaide in the Early Twentieth Century.
13. The Clockwork Forest that Plays Music.
The stuff I've found on Trove, which is the digitised library of the National Library of Australia has been amazing. I said to my mum a few weeks ago that if Australian History was taught like this in school, I would have stuck with it - and loved it. There's all kinds of stuff on Trove, and I've learned a very great deal about the early history of my city, immigration, and more.
I plan to make that green peppers dish, it looks fantastic. And I can dream that one day, I'll be thin enough to fit into one of those gorgeous flapper dresses. Also, I'd love to travel the route of the Silk Road and see that clockwork forest for myself, wind the key and listen to the music. Too awesome.
Unrelated to today's thirteen, I'll be participating in the Hop Against Homophobia in May, so keep an eye for that. A lot of wonderful authors are participating in it, so there'll be a lot to see and do.
