Historian

A Historian studies past human activity. You might specialise in a particular area of history or explore a range of historical subjects. Historians analyse documents, artefacts and materials to interpret historical information. You might write reports on historical subjects or present your studies in a range of settings.

Historians should be passionate about their subject areas and be confident sharing their knowledge with others. It’s important you have excellent research skills and strong analytical abilities. Historians require excellent attention to detail and must be able to work as part of a team.
