History Workshop Journal

History Workshop Journal

The History Workshop is a movement founded by Raphael Samuel. Its main role was to promote the field of historiography known variously as History from below, the history of everyday life, or simply the people's history. Samuel defined the movement as being "the belief that history is or ought to be a collaborative enterprise, one in which the researcher, the archivist, the curator and the teacher, the 'do-it-yourself' enthusiast and the local historian, the family history societies and the individual archaeologist, should all be regarded as equally engaged."Fact|date=February 2007 It was founded at Ruskin College, Oxford (the trade union college for mature students) in 1966.
