HISTORY RESEARCH introduces itself
The three websites of HISTORY RESEARCH were recently redesigned.
We are taking this as an opportunity to present the new sites and give an insight into the work of HISTORY RESEARCH. HISTORY RESEARCH is a free, independent research institute outside the university system – registered as a non-profit association – for history, natural philosophy and the ancient humanities.
The institute’s work focuses generally on researching the history of humankind and its various cultures, philosophies and world views, across all geographical regions, peoples and eras.
HISTORY RESEARCH publishes the results of its practical and editorial research in its two free magazines, Dualchas Magazin and NORICO Magazin. Further publications by HISTORY RESEARCH and ancient source texts can be found in the online library. In addition, HISTORY RESEARCH publishes non-fiction books and documentary films through the association’s own publishing house, Nemeton Eula.
Free and non-profit offerings
The “Dualchas Magazin” reports regularly on history, culture, customs, philosophy and traditional lore. The Gaelic word “Dualchas” means “heritage, culture, tradition”. The PDF magazine, free of charge for readers, has appeared four times a year since June 2014. All 16 issues published so far have been available for some time in the GAIA reading archive:
The “NORICO Magazin” is the largest and most comprehensive Celtic magazine on the German-language internet. The NORICO Magazin deals mainly with Celtic culture, history, archaeology, mythology and traditions. Its reporting, however, focuses on the “Norican Celts”. The NORICO Magazin went online on 17 June 2016. It, too, is free for readers. Here is the direct link into the world of the Norican Celts:
Research into “Indo-European literary history” has two aims for HISTORY RESEARCH: a scientific one and an idealistic one. The scientific aim is to show what the Indo-European literatures of various Indo-European peoples have in common and to prove their kinship, which goes back to the most ancient times and has survived to this day. The idealistic aim is to reconcile the peoples of Eurasia with one another by discussing what the various Indo-European cultures have in common, and thus to recall their common roots in the distant past. The complete documentation, 16 chapters with 5 appendices, can be found here:
NARYORE – LITERARY HISTORY (German)
The “Celtic-druidic solar and lunar calendar” is based on the ancient Coligny calendar. This means the calendar contains the old continental Celtic month names, and the original weeks and original feast days are also based on the Coligny calendar. The calendar is designed as a modern planner and comes with instructions. You can download the calendar free of charge here:
