Disclaimer: This in no way comprehensive even for history & fandom on Dreamwidth, let alone on other sites and I am not aware of all fictional historical fandoms by name. All posts are taken from public community posts or via the wider web, but if there is anything you would prefer not to be linked here just let me know. To bring something of interest to

historium, please post directly to the comm. But if you do want anything included in the next round-up or would like us to add any comms/blogs/your journal to the watchlist, comment here or PM a mod to let us know.
