Our brand new https://www.ibizahistoryculture.com website was launched a week yesterday Friday 23rd February. We will beging to publish online a wide variety of weekly interesting articles on Ibiza History Cultue  starting Saturday 3rd March 2001.

This first edition will be brief, simply because, it's a new venture and when it comes to make-your-mind-up time I am a firm believer that if you don't start now whilst the concept is fresh then it all gets put back until whenever.

I am excited and open-minded about the prospect and feel honour-bound that things can change from week to week. Nevertheless, as the madhouse of our crazy rave summer season eventually comes to its senses we will move up to a higher gear we will have a new far-reaching publication that reveals the behind-the-scenes of the best-kept secrets of the island's historical culteral past.

This mission will not be a one-hit blunder because we aim to go flat-out with each of our editiorials with hand-picked featuresd articles we will offer a guide for would-be folk who have an avid interest in this extraordinary island of Ibiza.

I will start by writing a weekly Commentary article on Ibiza. This will provide our readers with an insight to this special island by publishing fact-finding accounts of the everyday way of life of the people, the countryside,  the villages, and the towns on Ibiza.

We will begin with the introductory of a regular weekly feature by Emily Kaufman. This talented young lady will give rhythm and reason to words and write a weekly series of carefully researched, in-depth interesting articles on the fascinating ancient History of Ibiza.

These amazing stories will explain in detail the numerous facts of culture on this island connected with the amazing centre of the world where a good-quality way of life and style began many centuries ago in the colourful Mediterranean.

Emily Kaufman was born in New York, but here parents moved to Pennsylvania when she was six-years-of-age. Emily left the USA and arrived in the Spanish capital Mardid during August 1980 to study at university and become an English language teacher.

Emily met her husband in Madrid and by fate the couple with their eight-month-old son, moved to Ibiza Friday 15th June 1984. Emily first came to public notice whilst putting pen to paper setting about writing her well-informative history column in Sally Wilson's weekly publication Ibiza Now.

Emily has recently published her first book The History Buff's Guide to Ibiza that covers the island's history from the Prehistoric Times of the Jurassic period through to the conquest of the island by the Catalan Conquest in 1235, which was the start of modern times.
