Can a historian be objective?
Historians are objective every single day of the week. Some can be biased when they insert their own feeling and opinions into a subject such as racial oppression or homosexua…l history. But, for the most part they are objective and can retell the story of history to others well. They can tell how it was and then add their own conclusions about what happened and why it happened. Now if you asked me about the Vietnam War I could tell you about it but believe me the negative feelings about it are not gone yet even after thirty five years. (MORE)

How does historians think?
Historians think in many different ways. Some historians are only interested in who the leaders of a country were, how the country acquired its territory, or what the great ba…ttles were. Other historians are interested in the ethnic groups and their migrations, in other words, how that country came to be, and which people live there. And then, some historians are interested in comparing narratives-- how the story of that country is told from a number of different perspectives. There are historians who focus on the role of women, or the role of religion, or the role of minority groups or even the role of the media. Some companies hire historians to preserve the story of what that company has done over the years. So, to understand how historians think, you first need to look at what they think about-- what their special area of interest might be. A historian's job is to preserve the story, to make sure it is told honestly and accurately. As new information becomes available, historians will look at it, and then add it into the story. That is why some history books have many editions-- there may be new information or new perspectives now that were not possible to know years back. (MORE)

What do the historians do?
Historians study the past through speeches, old texts and other resources they can find and then create theories about the time being studied. Archaeologists, like historians,… would do the same except they would uncover more physical objects, like buildings, bodies etc. Historians and archaeologists can study primary or secondary recources (primary resources being the most accurate, but remember everything is bias, unless it is coming from a third party): Primary resource: A source from the time or very close to the time, for example: •A briefcase from the Titanic •An unexploded shell (bomb) from WWII in Germany (thousands are being uncovered every year actually) •A Roman sword or arrow tip found in a battle site •King Tutankhaman's tomb •A diary of a Roman philosopher Secondary resource: A source from after the time being studied, for example: •A speech about the Vietnam war made after the war •Biographies •Dictionaries (I don't know how I got this one) •A WWI memorial made in 2015 •Speches about historical events (even if it is about your life, because it isn't made at the time) I hope I helped :) (MORE)
