History is about people, but what do we know about the people behind history\u2019s scenes?

Who are the people who tell us what we know about our past?

How do they come to know what they know?

Today, we begin our year-long \u201cDoing History\u201d series with a special bonus episode about historians and why they do the work that they do.
