Historian

A historian is a person who studies and writes about the past and is regarded as an authority on it.^[1] Historians are concerned with the continuous, methodical narrative and research of past events as relating to the human race; as well as the study of all history in time. Some historians are recognized by publications or training and experience.^[2] "Historian" became a professional occupation in the late nineteenth century as research universities were emerging in Germany and elsewhere.
