ED Tech Press History And Historiography (Hb 2022) by Glen Cunningham
History is the study of the human past as it is described in the written documents left by human beings. The past, with all its decisions completed, its participants dead and its history told, is what the general public perceives as the immutable bedrock on which we historians and archaeologists stand. But as purveyors of the past, we recognize that the bedrock is really quicksand, that bits of the story are yet untold, and that what has been told comes tainted by the conditions of what we are today Historiography refers to both the study of the methodology of historians and the development of history as a discipline, and also to a body of historical work on a particular subject.
