How to History: The Things We Leave Behind
How to History: The Things We Leave Behind
How do we know what happened in the past? How do we recreate the lives of people who have been dead for centuries? History begins with evidence, but the evidence we have of the individuals and groups from the past varies wildly depending on who and what they were, and where and when they lived. Join MVM research librarian Bow Van Riper for a lively look at the raw material of history: the things we leave behind when we’re gone.
On Wednesday, December 10th, join MVM Research Librarian Bow Van Riper for a Vineyard-centric look at how historians bring the past to life.
