History of History

The history of history, or historiography, is the study of how humans have written and understood their past. It explores the development of historical methods, perspectives, and ideas over time. From ancient chronicles to modern analytical approaches, historiography shows how interpretations of events change with culture, technology, and new evidence. It helps us understand that history is not just a collection of facts but a dynamic process shaped by the thinkers and contexts that influence how we record and analyze the past.
