Through my browsing of various history blogs around the web, it was interesting to see the multitude of viewpoints and events being brought to light that may have otherwise been ignored. For instance, the Women of History blog serves to share content related to the history of women and their customs, attitudes, and accomplishes throughout time. They strive to do so as they felt that many women were unfairly absent from written history. Another interesting blog is the National Museum of American History. Their content is highly useful as they seem to prioritize providing historical context to current events, including an article highlighting the various obstacles African-Americans have had to overcome throughout American history, including the unrest at present.
A couple historical twitter accounts that I found interesting and followed included @JQAdams_MHS, an account which tweets daily lines of John Quincy Adams diary, and seems like a fun way to take in his life story, as well as @AHAhistorians, a well-known historical association that provides well-sourced and relevant history.
