Bonus: Why Historians Study History (Doing History)
Description
History is about people, but what do we know about the people behind history’s scenes?
Who are the people who tell us what we know about our past?
How do they come to know what they know?
Today, we begin our year-long “Doing History” series with a special bonus episode about historians and why they do the work that they do.
Doing History Series
This episode is part of the "Doing History: How Historians Work" series.
“Doing History” episodes will introduce you to historians who will tell you what they know about the past and reveal how they came to their knowledge.
Each episode will air on the last Tuesday of each month in 2016.
This series is part of a partnership between Ben Franklin’s World and the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture.
