Standards of Evidence in Historical Research: How Do We Know When We Know?

Kaestle, Carl F.

History of Education Quarterly, v32 n3 p360-66 Fall 1992

Describes the difficulties that historians have in determining the truth about any historical event or issue. Contends that new areas of historical research, such as women's history, minority history, and radical history have diversified the concept of truth. Provides three sources of standards for truth to guide future historians. (CFR)
