What+is+History


 * Students Please write in here your definition of local history. Please talk among your selves and update it so at the end of the Term we have one class definition of what Local History actually is. **

Local history is the study of history in a geographically local context and it often concentrates on the local community. It incorporates cultural and social aspects of history. Historic plaques are one form of documentation of significant occurrences in the past and oral histories are another.
