H-Nutrition

The 2019 H-Nutrition short-essay series is organized around "Figures," interpreted loosely to mean illustrations, charts, and human actors. The six contributions that will be published over the next three weeks look at the politics of food advertising for "Brogurt" and Ovaltine; cross time and space from nineteenth-century Crimea to twentieth-century China to the twenty-first-century United States; and contemplate the idealized figure of the virtuous mother and the economical housewife. Please read, comment, and share widely.

Dear H-Nutrition subscribers, the following call for short pieces is certain to interest anyone who wants to write for librarians and similar scholars about the stakes of their historical work. "History is not what you thought. It is what you can remember. All other history defeats itself.” Why do we remember? What is an archive and its worth in the digital age?                                        ~kae
