Pop History Dig stories currently appear on the first & second Google search-results pages, given relevant queries. In recent months the site has attracted visitors from more than 6,000 cities in at least 150 countries, including social historians, media analysts, educators, and academic researchers who find it a credible and useful source on the history and power of contemporary culture.
The Pop History Dig website is currently free & open, offered as a public education resource. However, that could change without improved financial prospects. As owner/operator I am open to possible academic and/or institute-type affiliations or related research/teaching opportunities that might be found at colleges, universities, foundations, media & news organizations, or other venues. If you have any suggestions, can offer assistance, or know of persons or organizations that can be helpful, please contact me at the e-mail address or phone number below. Thank you.
