The Observatory of International Research rated Stefan Hanß’s Historical Journal article on feather-work in colonial Peru "the 7th most impactful paper in the category 'History' among all works published in the past 14 days" (22 Jan 2019).
The Historical Journal now published a blog entry on Cambridge Core, and the entire article is now open access if opened via the Cambridge Core blog entry.
The recognition of Stefan Hanß’s research was fascinating, especially the way historical textiles are examined so closely to reveal stories from the past. When I was working on a research paper last semester, I spent hours looking at archival images and it made me appreciate how much patience academic work requires. During busy weeks I’ve even joked with friends about asking someone to take my online class for me, but discoveries like this remind me why research is worth the effort.
