How do Historians Learn About History?



Hey guys this Alfie and this is my 21st post and I hope you will enjoy it. In this post I will investigate how do historians learn about history.There are five basic steps that every historian/archaeologist should take. First they need to gather a reasonable amount of primary and secondary  sources. Then they categorise and label the sources into written and non written. After that Historians evaluate their sources with the five w's, who, what, where, why and when. Next they interpret the information by examining the sources taking nites and trying to work out what they mean. And finally they publish and share their theory. Thanks for reading and please comment.
