historiumSince we have an AO3 Collection now, I thought it'd be worth highlighting the Bookmarks function it gives us.
If any comm members who use bookmarks on AO3 want to add relevant historical works to the Historium bookmarks collection, please do so. Together we can hopefully make a really useful resource for finding good historical fanworks on the archive.
If you follow the link, you can see I've added a random handful of works as an example. All you need to do to share existing bookmarks is to click on "Add to Collection" then type in "Historium" and the thing is done! If you're making a new bookmark to add, do so as usual, but again, type "Historium" in the space for collections. You can also add external bookmarks.
Our usual (loose) definitions of historical apply and works of all ratings/ship types etc are fine.
Add reccing blurbs and useful tags & mark it as a rec or not as you please (although obviously those things are good). But if it's been bookmarked in the collection here we'll take it that a Historium member thought it was well worth a look.
Have fun!
