‘History gives answers only to those who know how to ask questions.’ – Hajo Holborn, German-American historian (1902-1969)
We are curious and passionate historians who learn about the people, the events and the times that have influenced the world in which we live today. We ask questions about the past, look critically at different types of evidence and use the knowledge we’ve gained to form our own perspectives and views.
