The Internet History Sourcebooks Project is a collection of public domain and copy-permitted historical texts presented cleanly (without advertising or excessive layout) for educational use. 1. This project is both very large and fairly old in Internet terms. At the time it was instigated (1996), it was not clear that web sites [and the documents made available there] would often turn out to be transient. As a result there is a process called "link rot" - which means that a "broken link" is a result of someone having taken down a web page.
Historiography refers either to the study of the history and methodology of history as a discipline, or to a body of historical work on a specialized topic. Scholars discuss historiography topically – such as the "historiography of Catholicism ," the " historiography of early Islam ," or the " historiography of China " – as well as specific approaches and genres , such as political history and social history . Beginning in the nineteenth century, with the ascent of academic history , a corpus of historiographic literature developed. The research interests of historians change over time, and in recent decades there has been a shift away from traditional diplomatic, economic and political history toward newer approaches, especially social and cultural studies.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. [ 1 ] History (from Greek ἱστορία - historia , meaning "inquiry, knowledge acquired by investigation" [ 2 ] ) is the discovery, collection, organization, and presentation of information about past events. History can also mean the period of time after writing was invented. Scholars who write about history are called historians . It is a field of research which uses a narrative to examine and analyse the sequence of events, and it sometimes attempts to investigate objectively the patterns of cause and effect that determine events. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Historians debate the nature of history and its usefulness.
