It’s unquestionable that motto of every good historian is Historia est Magistra Vitae. To all appearances, Cicero was right, and the work of today’s historians proves that. While studying and researching past events and wondering through dark hallways of ancient times they give voice to people from bygone days. They are writing and rewriting history while using a variety of sources such as written documents – books and archives – as well as artifacts. Being regarded as an authority on the past, historians are having an important and substantial role in modern society, since their working place can be various, including government, schools as well as nonprofits and historical associations and organizations.
