History Tool Box

"Out of what survives of these portions of history, the formal narratives of an age or of a person's life are fashioned.  The letter that carried news or affection becomes a documentary source; the public official's diary, written for self-protection, throws light on governmental secrets; the broken pottery or cave painting tells of a vanished people, as the modern novel and daily paper variously reveal the temper of the age.  Thus does "history proper" intertwine with our speech, our beliefs, our passions, and our institutions."  Jacques Barzun, The Modern Researcher
