History Is...

The only thing new in the world is the history you don't know.  -Harry S. Truman

 

Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.  -Robert F. Kennedy

 

History is, indeed, an argument without end.  -Arthur .M. Schlesinger, Jr.

 

Not all that is presented to us as history has really happened; and what really happened did not actually happen the way it is presented to us; moreover, what really happened is only a small part of all that happened. Everything in history remains uncertain, the largest events as well as the smallest occurrence.  -Goethe

 

History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.  -Winston Churchill

 

Don't know much about the people quoted above?  Research them!  -The LHS History Department

How to Write Good History

In many respects, good historical writing is different from writing in other academic disciplines such as English, for example.  Research and use the following sites as a guide to the process, structure, and style of the historian's craft.

Very special thanks must be given to Dr. Glen Gendzel, Professor of History at SJSU, for researching and providing the links listed below for his students in the Masters in History program.  Although we will continue to grow and add to this site, without his hard work it would not be so rebust at its start.

Discover Local University Libraries

These libraries do allow non-student access to their stacks and other resouces if you visit them or inquire as to their use beforehand.  It is a very worthwhile experience to explore a university library.  Since many of you will be "living" in them soon, you might as well get aquainted.
