How To History How to Use a Book of Centuries – Simply Charlotte Mason A Book of Centuries can be as unique as you are. I, personally, am a list person, so my Book of Centuries is full of lists. A friend of mine is more of an artistic person, so her Book of Centuries is full of sketches with captions. If you would like an example of a list person’s Book of Centuries, I’m happy to explain mine in more detail. In my Book of Centuries, the left page is dedicated to specific events with dates that I want to remember. On the right page I list names of people who lived during that era. Also on that right page, in a different color of ink, I list the titles of any books I’ve read that were set in that time period. I’m sure you’ll come up with more ways to personalize your own Book of Centuries. If you would like more information, visit our Book of Centuries page where you can also download a free Book of Centuries template.

A History of the World - List of Objects Albert Einstein at the IISH Seventy-five years of systematic collection by the IISH does not only mean bringing together all kinds of collections from individuals and institutions who are important to social history, but also leads to a 'condensing' of documents from people whose own archives have not ended up at the Institute. Albert Einstein's (1879-1955) letters offer a good example of this process. On the occasion of the new president of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) Robbert Dijkgraaf's introductory visit to the IISH (7 July 2008), we explored the possibility of exhibiting several of Einstein's letters. After all, Dijkgraaf is a renowned physicist and Einstein was once a foreign member of the KNAW. To our own surprise, a rummage through various archives did not only yield dozens of letters and manifests, but also a lecture with discussion, an unpublished preface, and various visual artefacts. The IISH's collection of Einsteiniana spans the period of circa 1919 to 1947.
