without entertainment, without care. . .All mens miseries derive from not being able to sit in a
quiet room alone." Pascal
We get many visitors to our site—some through referals and others through Google searches. Some just grab
the information they want and go, but otheres stay to explore. This page
is for people who enjoy this site, understand what we are trying to do here, and are willing to
contribute a little time to help make this a better website.
It is common for websites to ask for donations of money; we prefer something more valuable—your time
and attention. We have in mind several ways for Heritage History users to contribute to the website.
For starters, we are asking our users to participate in a survey. Knowing the reading
preferences of our regular users will help us set priorities in the future. The 2009 Heritage Survey can
be found below.
Another way to contribute to Heritage History is to write short, helpful book reviews for any books
on our site that you or your family have read. We welcome book reviews from students as well as
parents. Writing a short book review of a favorite history book could be a terrific assignment for homeschoolers.
No reviews will be posted until autumn of 2009, but we would like to start collecting
reviews sooner than later.
A final way to help us out would be word-of-mouth, or informal advertising. If you contribute regularly
to a blog or newletter, or if you are part of a homeschooling cooperative, book club, or other organization
whose members may be interested in high quality history, please consider mentioning our site.
We greatly appreciate your help making Heritage History the best possible History Library.

Your Questions/Comments:
Submit Book Review
You may copy and paste your book reviews from the original
source into our text box.
A few notes about our book review policy may be helpful. First, all submissions are subject to editing.
Second, we will confine identifying information to first name, last initial, state, and age (optional) of the
reviewer. Third, a valid email address is reqired. Fourth, reviews must contain helpful content. Negative
reviews are allowed, but both positive and negative comments must be supported by some specifics. Reviews must
therefore be between 60 words and 400 words (approximately).
