I'd like to ask that there be a separate room for historical biographies.
One easy qualification is that the subject should be dead, perhaps for a specific number of years.
It would be nice if people (like me) who are writing such a thing could meet and post without wading through all of the contemporary memoirs and autobiographies, which seem to be what 95% of people here are writing.
There are different techniques involved in writing historical biographies and they are usually aimed at a different audience, so they should be treated separately in my view.
Thanks in advance for your consideration and opinions.
