Description

The classic guide to exploring English local history, brought up to date and expanded. This is a book for anyone wanting to explore local history in England.

It summarises, in an accessible and authoritative way, current knowledge and approaches, bringing together and illustrating the key sources and evidence, the skills and tools, the contexts and interpretations for successive periods.

Case studies show these ingredients in use, combined to create histories of people and place over time. A standard text since its first edition in 1992, this new edition features extensive fresh material, updated to reflect additional availability of evidence, changing interpretations, new tools and skills (not least the use of IT), and developments in the time periods and topics tackled by local historians.

The interdisciplinary character of twenty-first-century local, family and community history is a prominent feature.

Complemented by 163 illustrations, this book offers an unrivalled introduction to understanding and researching local history.
