Oxford historians and non-historians are now invited to trial a Bloomsbury History: Theory & Method [access via SOLO]. This is a new educational resource dedicated to historiography and the examination of historical theory and methods using a global approach. This resource will be suitable to particularly students in history or researchers from other disciplines wishing to learn about historiography and historical theory and methods.

The resource contains:

• 61 Bloomsbury ebooks (most already available via other resources)
• 134 exclusive articles by authors based in 25 different countries
• 4-volume major reference work on the global history of historiography

Articles and essays are provided by an international group of historians. You can search and find these in a variety of ways. Browsing is a good option if you want to explore more broadly to learn about historical methods, historiography and thematic issues. The topics cover a broad spectrum and historical periods go back to Ancient Greece and Rome.

You can browse for articles and essays in many ways:

• by historian (Abū Bakr to Wilhelm von Humboldt)
• type of history (Annales School to Universal History)
• by topic (Censorship to War)
• theory & method (Abuse of History to What is History and Why Does It Matter)
• key thinkers (e.g. Catharine Macaulay, Ibn Khaldûn, Karl Marx, R.G. Collingwood)
• using primary sources (e.g. autobiography, early modern diaries, ecclesiastical records, slave narratives, statistics)
• key concepts (e.g. Afrocentricity, class, gender, Identity, time)
• Classic texts in context (Bede’s Ecclesiastical History to
  

  Tacitus’ Annals)

• Historiography: critical readings
