Everyone once in a while here on Unwritten Histories, we like to show you how historians develop and design historical research projects. Today we have a special guest post by Peter Anderson previewing a new collaborative project with on the history of Canadian soil scientists and their work. Pete is one of the nicest historians that I know, and a big help on my blog post on lilacs, so I’m really excited to be able to share his research with you! Enjoy!
