The Use of personal documents in history, anthropology and sociology
HISTORY," said Charles Seignobos, "is not a science it is a method (procédé de connaissance) By that he meant that historical method may be applied to the subject matter of any discipline as a means of extracting fact. That is true, but it is no less true that historical method has a special significance for the historian. The historian (or other scholar acting in loco historici) applies the historical method to documents that have survived from the past and from them accumulates many data. These data may be used by the philosopher, the political scientist, the sociologist, the linguist, or the physicist to construct a history of thought, of political institutions, of social customs, of literature, or of science. But they are also used by the historian to construct descriptions of past personalities, narratives of past events, or pictures of past cultures.rn"
