Meet the face
behind the posts

Welcome! My name is Tizane Navea-Rogers and I am a Library & Archives Assistant working in the newspaper industry. I'm also a bit of a history blogger in my spare time. 

​

Unsurprising to perhaps most of you, my background is in history. I studied History & Politics at the University of York and continued my history love affair at the University of Oxford for my Masters. 

​

You most likely have come here from my Instagram handle @thepastpalace where I post about history and books, my two greatest loves. I also occasionally write for The Historian's Magazine, an online publication founded by like-minded history buffs through Instagram. You can check out the latest edition here!
