History - the recording of the daily lives, conflicts, thoughts, relationships, work, and beliefs of men and women - has long been central to the world's understanding of human culture, and to every society's transmission of its culture. From ancient tribes to modern nation-states, virtually all groups have appointed bards, historians, or chroniclers to be the keepers of collective memory. Among the first subjects taught in universities, history has retained a central place in the modern canon, changing and evolving to reflect the zeitgeist of its time and place, but always central to how we understand our world and find our place in it. Historians here, as around the world, seek to understand the totality of human endeavor in its time-based context. A dedicated historian seeks to know with significant sophistication the politics, economics, religion, material culture, science, art, music, philosophy, medicine, and even psychology of the men and women of a particular time and place. He or she must be at times a political commentator, a literary analyst, a translator of documents, a paleographer, an expert on poetry, a geographer, and a statistician.
