Historiography Project
Historiography is essentially the body of work written on a particular topic. Interpretations and conclusions can vary among historians because of a range of factors, including the individual’s ideology, the period in which the work was written, historical approach and method, and any prejudices the individual allows to influence the work. Your task in this assignment, then, is to compare books and/or articles on a particular topic. You are NOT writing a research paper on the subject; RATHER, you ARE writing a comparative analysis of the scholarship on your topic. What are the big questions the authors address about the topic? How do they approach these questions? What are their conclusions? Do their findings vary? If so, why? So, for example, do not waste time telling about World War I commemoration; instead, use your time analyzing how the authors deal with the big questions about commemoration and World War I.
Your paper must be typed, double-spaced, using a 12-point font (Times New Roman), with 1-inch margins all around, and meet the 8-10-page
minimum/maximum. Your name must be at the top of the page, and the paper must have a title. Your paper must use endnotes, following Turabian as used by the historical profession, and must be at least eight and no more than ten pages in length.
