This practical but inspiring book considers what local history is,
why researching it is valuable and rewarding, and how we should go
about it. Issues addressed include: getting oral and documentary
evidence; keeping records; the nature of data, information and
knowledge; and their use to create the different products of local
history research. Michael Williams is both a professional scientist
and a local historian of long standing, and he uses both sides of
his experience in a text that is at once rigorous about the
historical process, and also a fascinating - and often moving -
account of his adventures into the past of his own family and
community. He demonstrates local history methodology through his
research into ancestry, migration, work, war and religion in the
towns and villages of England and Wales. It is richly illustrated
throughout.
