Category:History



History is the study of written accounts of past events, or the interpretation of physical materials in relation to written accounts. Only a small range of historical "facts" can actually be verified. Most researchers who study historic accounts, historians, are aware that our present perspective colors our interpretation of past events. Therefore, a number of opinions and interpretations of historic events can be presented, and may be of equal value. However, opinions and analysis based on primary sources -- documents produced during or shortly after the period in question -- are usually considered the most valuable. giggle

The subcategory History by topic contains histories of various topics, including art and science.
