The next Carnival will be at Progressive Historians on 1 July, hosted by Jeremy Young. Email jcyoung84[AT]gmail[DOT]com or use the new nomination form.
You will notice that this is the same host as last time, something that has never happened before. Jeremy was the only person to offer. And I don't have a host for 1 August (though I do have one for September). We may well be taking a summer holiday. And after September?
It used to be the case that a combination of volunteers and begging emails from me kept us reasonably well supplied with hosts. But even though the history blogosphere has expanded massively in the last year or so, volunteers have dropped off precipitously and most of the emails I've sent this year have been ignored or have received polite negatives. Moreover, according to my feeds, very few bloggers now link to Carnival editions when they go up, and it's not clear that very many are reading them either. Does this suggest that the History Carnival has passed its sell by date? Maybe it's time to call it a day and concentrate on the more focused special interest carnivals.

The 14th Military History Carnival (special Contested Boundaries edition) is now up at Investigations of a Dog.
CFP: Carnivalesque (ancient/medieval)
The next edition of Carnivalesque will be for everything ancient and medieval, at A Corner of Tenth-Century Europe on or about 18 May 2008. Email Jonathan Jarrett at jaj20[AT]cam[DOT]ac[DOT]uk or use the submission form.
Call for Submissions: Military History Carnival
The 14th Military History Carnival will be held at Investigations of a Dog next week on Thursday 15th May. We still need more submissions: you can submit your own posts or someone else’s, relating to the Contested Boundaries theme or anything else within MHC’s usual remit. Please e-mail submissions to fallon.young@4-lom.com or use the the submission form.
More details of the Contested Boundaries theme:
This can cover disputed territories and borders, which are a big part of many wars. It can also cover cultural boundaries. How does war complicate, question or shift the boundaries between races, genders, classes, and sexual orientations, between able and disabled, or between human and animal? Above all, how is the boundary between war and peace constructed and contested? Just use your imagination.
You can submit your own posts or posts written by someone else. If you feel inspired to write something on this theme, then go for it. Considering the number of submissions we normally get it’s unlikely that your post will be rejected unless it’s outside the scope of the carnival or fails to meet basic standards of factual accuracy. Submissions don’t have to be limited to the theme. As usual, anything about armed forces and conflicts in any part of the world is eligible. Only wars that happened after 1 January 2001 are excluded. See the Military History Carnival page for more details of the carnival’s aims and scope.

CFP: Military History Carnival special edition
The next edition of the Military History Carnival will be at Investigations of a Dog on Thursday 15th May. As always we need as many submissions as possible. To make it more interesting I’ve decided to give this edition a special theme: Contested Boundaries.
This can cover disputed territories and borders, which are a big part of many wars. It can also cover cultural boundaries. How does war complicate, question or shift the boundaries between races, genders, classes, and sexual orientations, between able and disabled, or between human and animal? Above all, how is the boundary between war and peace constructed and contested? Just use your imagination.

If this is a success there might be more themed editions in future.
