Pox and Frocks Research

About Me

Your Favourite Historian’s Favourite Historian

Me, Hanna

More than ten years of experience spelunking in museum and archival collections, too many spreadsheets to count, and a level of determination to solve historical mysteries that is frankly a tad ridiculous.

Ready to help you untangle the snarls in whatever research you’re about to embark upon.
