You may also submit it formally to ahr@indiana.edu and we will post it on the platform.

¶ 9 Leave a comment on paragraph 9 0 Thank you very much for your participation in this experiment!
It would be helpful to get all the urls in the notes marked up as links. The ones that aren’t (e.g. History Manifesto in n.42) are difficult to use: if I highlight one in order to copy and paste it, the page immediately scrolls up to the top of the notes, so I can’t see the context any more. (I’m using Firefox in Linux).
At the moment, “click here” leads to a 404 error.
The link has been fixed. Thanks, Amanda!
