This book provides an overview of the methodology of historical research, a vital part of the discipline that is often learned through experience rather than study. The author argues that an understanding of methodology is essential for historians, who must exercise caution and apply rational principles when working with sources. The book covers the identification, location, and assessment of historical documents, recognizing that these sources are the building blocks of history and their absence poses major obstacles. It also discusses the importance of thorough research and the tools that make it possible, examining the role of archives, libraries, and museums in preserving and cataloging documents. As the field of historical research continues to advance, so too do the methods used by its practitioners, and this book provides an invaluable guide to the latest advancements and insights in the discipline.
