ASKAHISTORIAN.COM : A new kind of history for a new millennium

Abstract

Having recently arrived at the conclusion that next year I might very well find myself joining the ranks of the overeducated and underemployed, I was once again perusing the job ads on H-Net when I stuinbled across an advertisement for a new company selling a very unusual product. Promising to offer its clients “unparalleled insight and under- standing into the historical past”, askahistorian.com plans to open its doors to the public in September 2000, hiring out the minds of professional historians to those in desperate need of historical knowledge.
