Editor's note: If you email a response, please also post it in the blog comments so other readers can see your answer.

Hello! I am a graduate student working on my masters degree in history, I am hoping to start working on my thesis this fall and which I am hope will be on Kathrine Parr and her religious writings. Right now I am doing research just to see what sorts of information are out there and I was praying someone out there may by able to help me in finding books, articles, or even a website devoted Kathrine Parr. I have a very extensive library on Tudor England but I am always looking for more. If anyone can help me please or has any suggestions for me please email me. redelf@hotmail.com

If you can track it down, Susan James' "Kateryn Parr: The Making of a Queen" is probably going to be a very helpful resource. She also wrote the entry on Parr in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. You might want to check if your school has the book version or a subscription to the online version.

I was watching a series called The Six Wives of Henry viii made in 1971. One of them all about Catherine's marrige to Henry. I saw and it is a very good video about Catherine but if you buy it online it is a lot of money for one video in the series, still it is an hour and a half movie all about her.
