General Information about Historiography

"Historiography is concerned with historical interpretations and representations of the past—put another way, the writing of history as opposed to history itself" and  "involves consideration of the broader cultural, social, economic, and political forces that shape historical writers and their writing" (The SAGE Encyclopedia of Qualitative Research Methods).
