    The look on your face when you made your “discovery” in the archives-that’s what being a historian is all about! Can’t wait to find out what it is!

    Hi Kaelyn! I hope you're doing well. I'd be cursious to see a video where you discuss how did you pick your dissertation topic. I am currently in grad school and picking my thesis topic alone was difficult, I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it was to nail down a dissertation! Anyway, I love your videos and wish you continued luck in the archives!

    I love your videos, thanks for putting them together. I'm also a PhD student, I also teach and i've just started my teaching qualification too so life is a bit busy and sometimes disorganised. I've been scouring the internet for a specific video but so far, to no avail. I would love a video in which you created a step by step 'organise your life video' in terms of to do lists, deadlines and planning that I can literally pause, do that task and then move on to step two and so on. Almost like a follow along. I know you have your templates but they don't really work for me particularly being in the sciences. I think that you most likely understand what it is like to juggle so many different things that it can become overwhelming. This sort of video would help immensely. Plus I would likely return to it in the future each time I need a 'to do' reset! Just an idea for you! Thanks for all you do and good luck with your diss :)

    What has helped you remember proper Chicago style citation format? I have a hard time making it streamed lined, and it takes up so much time 😅

    I'm in process of planning out my trip to the UK National Archives this summer (as well as the Record Office in Liverpool and the People's History Museum archives in Manchester), and every time you post about archives I get 𝘴𝘰 geeked up all over again!

    I so get the tiredness after a day in the archives! As enthralling as it is, it's tiring. Particularly after the post adrenalin drop, when finding something that 'fits' into your research ;]

    Thank you for sharing your journey with us! In one of your past videos you mentioned that the history of the Russian aristocracy interest you, so I just wanted to share 2 books I read that I believe you might like: Former People: The final days of the Russian aristocracy by Douglas Smith and After the Romanovs: Russian Exiles in Paris from the Belle Époque Through Revolution and War by Helen Rappaport. Hope this helps! :)
