Works Wanted

Not only members of Lowlands-L but anyone may submit travel tips and descriptions for inclusion here. Those who do so are welcome to add a few words about themselves. By submitting material they give us permission to share them here.

Please feel free to write on any relevant subject, anything ranging from a brief local history tidbit and an explanation of a place name to an article about world history. We are particularly keen on information that benefits people’s research or travelers’ visits, any little-known facts or items. Another type of contribution we welcome is personal memories or passed-down elders’ accounts of living through particular historical periods or events. In other words, you are welcome to share what it was like to live through something that to other people is no more than a historical note. It does not need to be an event either. You may just want to share with the world what it was like to live at a certain time in a certain place.

We will also gratefully consider including pictures as long as they are of acceptable quality and there are no copyright issues.

We will publish the names and places (but not addresses) of all contributors, but we will consider using pseudonyms (pen names) as long as we know the real names (which we will keep confidential).

We welcome works in any language. However, we would prefer to have at least a summary in English of each as well, and we are willing to help with that.

If you are interested, please drop us a line under the subject line “History” at lowlands.list(a)gmail.com (replacing (a) with @). And please provide your name (or write “Anonymous”) and also your town and country.
