The Establishment of AE "Institute" for Imperial Age
In an effort to increase participation in the Early Modern &
Imperial Age Forum, the "Institute" has been created to encourage
posting and discussion in the history of the period 1500-1900.
Discussion will occur in the Early Modern & Imperial Age Forum as before.
There is no formal organization, and there are no special protocols.
All are welcome to participate.
Special topics, ongoing topics and areas of partcular interest can develop, as this project moves forward.
Discussion should concentrate on, or substantially overlap, the period 1500 - 1900.
Other Administrators and Moderators will encourage participation
in this "Institute" to bring great discussions to the Board.
Thanks and have fun.
