Progress Report: 2/23

This is the first of what will be several catch-up posts over the next few weeks. I've been keeping up with my research, but I've been slipping a bit as far as this blog's concerned. I'll try to get a few posts up a week for the next few weeks to sum up the work I've been doing recently. For now, I'm still plowing my way through the Establishment Books and compiling the court list for Princess Caroline, and after meeting with Professor Bucholz for some input on what I've got so far I'm beginning to collate the names I've got from the Establishment Books with other lists compiled by Sir Joh Sainty. These lists, while not as extensive as the lists of names in the Establishment Books that I've been working with, tend to contain a bit more extensive information about the tenures of the office-holders, occasionally listing things like occupation date, or the length of the person's service. As I move through the Establishment Books, I'm getting into Caroline's reign as Queen, and so the numbers of office-holders in her court rises fairly substantially, so I'm keeping plenty busy between collecting those names and collating information between my list and Sir John's. I look forward to playing catch-up with the posts, and hope to get quite a bit of research done these next few weeks!

No Interesting Historical Tidbit today, since I'm tired and have some papers to do, but that segment WILL make a triumphant return in the next few posts.
