History Twitter accounts

Recommended Posts

This is a bit of a shameless plug, but I just started a twitter account for weird medicine quotes, I come accross in the process of research.  Please follow me https://twitter.com/AntiquatedMeds.  Also If you know of any other good history twitter accounts (or have one), post them here.

@DavidRArmitage, the head of the Harvard history department, usually has good stuff. Also, @appendixjournal, which is an academic history-oriented online magazine. A lot of historians on Twitter also use the hashtag #twitterstorians and you can usually find a lot of stuff that way (maybe as a way to start looking for people/organizations on Twitter in your field).

I'll plug my own work; I'm deep into the world of federal government social media, and I put out tons of stuff as the African Burial Ground National Monument (http://www.twitter.com/afburialgrndnps) and Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Monument (http://www.twitter.com/harrietubmannps)

That said, there is the official list of hundreds of historians on twitter which can be found here: http://www.activehistory.co.uk/historians-on-twitter/index.php?page=1
