TECHNIQUES OF HISTORICAL RESEARCH AND WRITING

Raji Afeez Tope

4.9/5 (31969 ratings)

Description:This paper aims at the task a historian has to do before publishing a scientific paper. All writing assignments are intended to be read, and the intended audience should always determine what is written. History is no different. Any account, report, or other piece of historical writing is intended to take effect on someone at some time. It must consequently meet someone's demands.Those demands can for convenience be summed up in a pair of questions: Is the account true, reliable, complete? Is it clear, orderly, easy to grasp and remember? All the devices and methods that the researcher combines under the name of technique exist to satisfy these inescapable requirements. An understanding of this technique comprises the steps taken in the process of writing history and the guiding principle albeit not codified in a single document. It therefore suggests that the task before a Historian is a big one, which starts with the conception of his subject idea and ends when the last word has been spelt out. On whichever theme a historical research seeks to address it is usually based on primary sources and a thorough reading of secondary sources. The available materials are the huge mass of words bearing on innumerable topics and subtopics within the subject. Whenever possible research should be traced back to the primary sources. Primary sources are the texts nearest to any subject of investigation; secondary sources are always written about primary sources. The most common primary sources are written documents. But primary sources can also include photographs, paintings, sculpture, architecture, oral interviews, statistical tables, and even geography. A thorough reading of secondary sources will equip the researcher with a sense of interpretation.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
