Visual history

Visual history is a method of studying and understanding past events through images, videos, and other visual materials. It leverages photographs, film footage, maps, and diagrams to provide a rich, immersive perspective on history, often revealing context and details that words alone might miss. By analyzing these visuals, historians can better grasp cultural, social, and political aspects of different eras. This approach makes history more tangible and engaging, helping people connect emotionally and intellectually with the past through visual evidence.
