There's more to history than pictures!

Sometimes history is not as easy as it seems. There are people who will claim "its not worth the trouble," or "the ends never justify the means." Students of history know that a life spent looking backward is a splendid shelter against a stormy future. Right now historians are testing these theories in the very real laboratory of time.
Let's look at some of the other lessons history can teach us! In fun and informative ways! So far pictures have been our window on history. But windows sometimes have curtains. What if you could talk to someone from the past? Who would you pick? A real historian? A graph maker? How about a mathematician? Or a different kind of mathemetician known as a statistician?
Did you know that everyone is really a historian, and that most historical research is really just asking questions? Richard Nixon didn't get a library named after him just because he liked to sit around looking in windows! And lets not forget that history is being made every day. Right this minute somebody is doing something that might well affect the future of history®! And some historian is sitting around waiting to hear about it. Thats what people who study the past mean when they talk about historical inevitability. Lets look at some of the people who work in the history industry. They're fun and exciting!
