Historiography of the United Kingdom is the study of how history has been written about the UK. It involves looking at the works of historians and studying how they interpret and explain the events, people, and places of the United Kingdom's past. Historians gather information and documents from the past in order to build a picture of what life was like in the United Kingdom hundreds or even thousands of years ago. They look at things like documents, artifacts, monuments and archaeological evidence to learn more about how people lived and reacted to events in history. This helps us understand more about the country's history and why certain things happened.
