A little introduction

Hey all,

My name is Kerry – I was born in New England, raised in Virginia, so a bit of a regional hybrid. I transferred to Mary Washington in 2007, fresh out of community college with delusions of studying English literature – within the first couple weeks of classes, though, I ended up declaring myself as a history major. I started my college career longing to be a librarian, then switched to a museum curator, and have settled (for now) on an archivist. This is my last semester at Mary Washington, if all goes according to plan, and in the fall I hope to start graduate school in pursuit of a Master’s in Library Science.

My real passion is English history of any flavor, particularly the Victorian and Edwardian eras. I realize, though, that the States doesn’t offer much in the way of archiving in English history, so I’ve been developing a more practical interest in World War II and the history of the CIA with the hopes of securing a government job in the future.

I know basically nothing about Chinese history but that isn’t to say I don’t have an interest – I’d love to see China as more than “that place with the rice and kung-fu movies.” I’ve never done much in cultural history but certain aspects – e.g., film, art, museums – definitely appeal to me.
