| | Why Study History? |
| | Virtually every subject has a history and can be analyzed and interpreted in historical perspective and context; the scope of historical inquiry is bound only by the quantity and quality of surviving documents and artifacts. | | | The purpose of historical inquiry is not simply to present facts but to search for an interpretation of the past. | | | Historians attempt to find patterns and establish meaning through the rigorous study of documents and artifacts left by people of other times and other places. |

| | The story of history is interesting to us because it tells us about real people who had ideas and beliefs, worked and struggled to put them in action, and shaped the present in which we find ourselves. | | | The history with which we are most familiar is political history-- the story of wars, peace treaties, and changes of government. | | | Many would say that history is not just one branch of knowledge among others, but that it is the most essential one because it is the complete story of human endeavor. |
