CONTENT OUTLINE/ History is the study of the past. The study of history helps make sense
SUMMARY of humankind. It also helps people understand the things that happen
today and that may happen in the future.
People trained in history are called historians. Historians usually
choose a particular time period or a particular group of people to
study. They may write books and articles to help other people
understand the past. They often use written records such as diaries,
letters, and newspaper articles to learn about the past. Records that
come from the time being studied are called primary sources.
Today records are easy to get. They are mostly written on paper or
stored on computers. But records from long ago may have been
written on stone or drawn on buildings. These records may be buried
in the ground, partially destroyed, or covered in layers of paint.
Historians who study ancient time periods must uncover these
records.
