The word historycomes ultimately from Ancient Greek histora, meaning "inquiry," "knowledge from inquiry," or "judge." However, the question of what kind of inquiries historians pose, what knowledge they seek, and how they interpret the evidence that they find remains controversial.
Historians draw conclusions from past approaches to history, but in the end, they always write in the context of their own time, current dominant ideas of how to interpret the past, and even subjective viewpoints.
Furthermore, current events and developments often trigger which past events, historical periods, or geographicalregions are seen as critical and thus should be investigated.
Finally, historical studies are designed to provide specific lessons for societies today.
In the words of Benedetto Croce, Italian philosopher and historian, "All history is contemporary history."
All events that are remembered and preserved in some original form constitute the historical record.
The task of historiansis to identify the sources that can most usefully contribute to the production of accurate accounts of the past.
These sources, known are primary sources or evidence, were produced at the time under study and constitute the foundation of historical inquiry.
Ideally, a historian will use as many available primary sources as can be accessed, but in practice, sources may have been destroyed or maynot be available for research.
In some cases, the only eyewitness reports of an event may be memoirs, autobiographies, or oral interviews taken years later.
