In 2005 I began writing research articles for the living history magazine, the Citizen’s Companion. Since then, I have written articles for the Citizens and Soldiers and Camp Chase Gazette magazines as well as an assortment of newsletters and localized publications. My research looks at changes in mid-nineteenth century society and pieces of material culture. **NOTE: Some of these articles are now available via my Google Drive. Click Here**

Anna, you can put Dover books about fashion right here, or did you know diver publications? I have seen those books at my village starting back in 2016.
No. I can not put Dover Publications here because this is a list of publications I wrote. I have not written anything published by Dover.
Yes, I have heard of Dover Publications. Museums frequently sell them in gift shops.
Yes, GCVM has a gift shop. They do sell a selection of books, including those published by Dover. A focus of the gift shop is on reproduction items made in the village such as pottery, baskets, wooden utensils, and tinware.
Yes. I’ve seen them.
