The historians are people whose job is to write or study about history, trying to find and explain what, why and how things happened. Their information can be obtained from primary or secundary sources. Some academic disciplines that help historians develop a more accurate job are politics, anthropology, linguistics, sociology, pscicology and philosophy. Another discipline that contributes greatly is archaeology.
