'''History''' has two meanings. On the one hand it is the sum of events in the human past. On the other it is an academic discipline centered on researching written, oral, or archaeological sources, as well as communicating the results of such research and reconstructing the findings into a coherent narrative or meaningful analysis.  This article deals with academic history, or [[historiography]].
