(Events observed but not remembered have been lost to history) 3. Events observed, remembered and recorded. (Unrecorded actions and thoughts have been lost to history) 4. Events for which we have surviving records. (This is the raw material of History) 5. Available,usable, believable records for a given historical account. 6. The Account

History is more than the study of the past. It is the process of recording, reconstructing and interpreting the past through the investigation of a variety of sources. History is the act of selecting, analyzing and writing about the past.

Even the best history is not much better than a mist through which we see shapes dimly moving. Bruce Catton History is a dim candle over a dark abyss. W.S.Holt
