Welcome to the History Annex ... "An Experience in History"

The purpose of the History Annex is to provide a flexible space for experiencing history. You will find within this space historical notes put together by the founder of the Annex. Plus you can browse specialty shops that will enable you to relive history in vivid ways: historical posters, books, dvds, even cartoons and covers from the New Yorker.

This is just the beginning. New topics are being added daily.

Why History?

History never loses its relevance when we see it as the study of change of time. Identify your favorite period and latch onto it in ways you have never known and then identify it as a period of change. You will never remember all the facts of history, but you can become a part of history in all its flavors. Once you have experienced the aspirations of the people who made history, you will become part of a process you will never forget.

What Is History?

History may be defined in two ways:

1. The totality of human activities in the past. In this sense, history is made by human activity itself.
2. The record of the events rather than the events themselves.

This Web site distills the record of those events and hopefully makes them presentable to a large audience.

What Is an Annex?

An annex is a flexible space that allows us to change how we use the building. And that is the purpose of the History Annex: to provide a flexible space for experiencing history. You will find within this space historical notes put together by the founder of the Annex. Plus you can browse specialty shops that will enable you to relive history in vivid ways whether it be posters, music, furniture, collectibles, book club recommendations, and more.

The development of the History Annex has just begun. New rooms will be added every day. The first room showcases 20th century Europe. Let us proceed from there.
