Series originally posted in Summer 2005
Below you will find a 5-part series entitled Introduction to Historical Method.
The bulk of the information was taken from the notes and readings of a
course in Historical Methodology taught by Professor Donna T. McCaffrey
at Providence College in
Providence, Rhode Island. As such, Dr. McCaffrey deserves full credit
for the majority of the information provided as well as for developing
the main structure of the way the information has been presented.
However, I have amplified some topics and added my own touches--such as
providing all of the hypertext links--where I've seen fit.
Additionally,
the section devoted to "The History of the Development of Historical
Method" relies heavily on Gilbert Garraghan's A Guide to Historical Method,
which was a constant reference both throughout Dr. McCaffrey's course
and the consolidation of these posts. Additionally, two works by John Tosh--Pursuit of History and Historians on History--have been utilized.
Finally,
I realize it is somewhat ironic that a work explaining the proper use
of method and technique in the study of History does not itself include
proper citation. Simply put, I decided that this was the best, most
web-readable way to present this information.
