Herodotus, writing in the 5th Century BCE, considered the title of his great work on the war between the Greek poleis and Persia very carefully. He settled on the word “Ἱστορίαι”, or “History”; translated literally as “enquiry”. We continue to study History to enquire into the development of human society through the interpretation of archaeological, documentary and personal evidence. From the ancient city of Ur (c.29th Century BCE), which you can learn about by visiting the British Museum at Holborn, through to the tale of English Parliamentarianism found over the road at the Palace of Westminster, the lives of countless men and women, their institutions, their passions, their fears and their beliefs have been recorded by design and by accident. It is the goal of a committed historian to seek a greater knowledge of how our species has coped with these varied and diverse environments, and the challenges and conditions they presented.
