HIS 2800: Writing History: Historiography

What is a Historiography?

Historiographies can help you identify important works, scholars, and discourses surrounding your topic.

How to Locate a Historiography

You can also search our databases and add the keyword "historiography" to your search.

When looking at books especially, historiography will likely be in the title of the book. The book's record in the catalog will also have historiography as part of the hyperlinked subject headings. You can click on the topical subject to see what other books have that same tag.
