Essential Skills for Historians helps undergraduate students make
the transition from general university study to a more in-depth
study of history, and to gain the skills and techniques they need
to conduct an independent research project or embark on a career as
a professional historian. The book begins with an examination of
the historical discipline and its relevance to contemporary
culture. It then guides readers through the steps of developing a
research project, using two sample projects that illustrate the
connections between core proficiencies such as critical thinking
and effective time management, and professional proficiencies such
as source criticism and historical interpretation. By following
these source projects as they develop, the book also highlights the
importance of sound historical practice and a critical
understanding of the past in contemporary society. Finally, the
book discusses the outcomes of historical research and reveals the
wide array of possibilities for careers built upon the skills
gained from studying history. Covering key topics such as research
strategies, reading sources, effective writing and professional
ethics - and with useful features such as glossaries, guidelines
for student projects, hands-on exercises, further reading and a
companion website containing extra resources - Essential Skills for
Historians equips aspiring historians with everything they need to
succeed whilst also demonstrating the value of history in the wider
world.
