About

Important! We have now moved over to a new website and will no longer be sharing posts here. Please make sure you subscribe at: https://how-to-history.com/

How-to History is here to help historians. We explain events, concepts, things, themes and sources to help with the practice of researching, writing and teaching history. Each ‘How-to’ is, usually, a succinct guide of around a thousand words and directs you to further resources. Our focus is British history, reflecting the knowledge of the editors, but we warmly encourage guest posts with wider scope.
