The Kingdom Historian is the coordinating force for all the other historians, as well as the keeper of the physical records of the kingdom. In order to become the kingdom Historian you must apply to the post and have the physical space to store all the physical documents.

The Kingdom historian's term lasts like most officers for two years. However, this office is often extended due to large projects of whichever historian is in office at the time. Mistress Annes Clotilde von Bamburg held the office for 5 years. She had taken it over in a badly neglected state. There were many projects she got off the ground, such as getting a webpage for the historian on the Ansteorra website, tripling the amount of historians at local levels and setting up a regional system of officers.

Then Master Robert Fitzmorgan held it for 4 years. During his tenure, he completely revamped the paper filing system with the history eventually filling 27 tubs of materials. He also was the creator of this wiki.

Mistress Annes took the office back because of unfinished business that she could not accomplish the first time. Her private goal was to scan all 27 tubs of paper into electronic form. After that, if the paper deteriorates beyond reading as it is already doing, the history can still be studied and learned from by future historians.

Mistress Annes was followed by Goldweard of St. Golias, who held the office for two years. In September of 2019, the office was transitioned to Zubeydah Jamilla al-Badawiyyah, who was already serving in a deputy role as Kingdom Wiki Administrator.

Their official duties are to keep the past history (obviously) and to keep people's interest in keeping their present history of the group and the kingdom. Not so official duties are serving as the memory of the kingdom, organizing museums at Kingdom Anniversary events and teaching about how to be a historian to those wanting to become historians for their group.
