Hi, I noticed there was no second edition. We enjoy This Day in History publication & always were thankful to have a choice. I work in a Veterans Home and anything that is political causes trauma for some of our residents. So please bring back the second edition so we can have the choice. Our residents ask for this every week & really enjoy not having to look at the news to instead read historical & cheerful sections of the publication.
Hi Victoria, thanks for your feedback!
We previously offered a second edition, but with our move to a new format that's easier to edit, print and display on a large screen, we've retired the older static version.
We are planning to introduce alternative biographies next year, giving you more flexibility to choose content that suits your residents.

Day Service Supervisor
I am absolutely thrilled to have found this site and my colleagues and I use the resources daily.
I have noticed on two pages this month - talking about Roger Moore and Joan Fontaine - they were described as "Fashion Designers" rather than actors. Obviously a massive amount of work goes into these so its easily crossed out - but thought you would like to know.
Congratulations on building a site that just keeps on giving!!
Thank you so much for your feedback Jane! The error has been corrected, thank you for letting us know. All the best!
