Answer:

Who are historians?

Historians are learned individuals who spend their professional lives researching and trying to make sense of the past.

Historians gather sources and evidence, which they use to form interpretations, conclusions and arguments. They publish their findings as academic works or books for the open market.

Most professional historians are employed in academia: as university or college professors, lecturers or researchers. A few also work for government bodies, in the private sector or as publishing authors.

No historian ‘owns the truth’

Because they prepare written history and deliver it to us, historians play a critical role in shaping how we view and understand the past. No historian ‘owns’ or has a monopoly on historical truth, however, even if they claim to.

History itself is not one single truth but a broad patchwork of ideas and viewpoints, woven by many different historians over long periods of time. Every historian looks at the past from their own perspective, uses different sources, employs their own methods and speaks in their own voice.

Historians often reach different conclusions or answers from the same evidence. There are several reasons for this.

Just as you and other people see the modern world in different ways, historians see the past differently. Every historian approaches the past with his or her own values, priorities and political perspectives. These perspectives shape the way we study, interpret and make sense of the past.  

Political labels

You will often hear some historians mentioned with political labels – for example, “the left-wing historian Brown” or “Russell, a liberal historian”. These labels attempt to summarise or encapsulate a historian’s political perspective.

This is a simplistic and often problematic approach, however, because it generalises or ‘pigeon-holes’ historians who may have significantly different viewpoints or arguments.

The most common of these labels attached to historians, as well as political commentators and other figures, are “left-wing” or “Marxist” and “right-wing” or “conservative”.

In general terms, left-wing or Marxist historians tend to emphasise problems and issues affecting the lower classes. The most common of these are the ownership of wealth and capital, economic inequalities, class exploitation, the misuse of power and the condition and grievances of workers.

Historians with right-wing or conservative views may instead focus on economic freedom and opportunity, progress, social stability, law and order and the failures of radicalism.

Somewhere between the two are liberal historians, who tend to focus on how well a society protects and advances individual freedoms and rights. Some historians adopt even more complex or nuanced positions.
