Historians research, analyze and interpret the past, and present their work to a contemporary audience for assessment and action on issues relevant to today. Ideally, this will be in an unbiased and peer-reviewed way. Historians thus provide us with vital information that informs our actions and behaviours.
Successful historians are competent in collecting and evaluating information, analyzing records and data from the past, connecting and linking those together to determine their complex relationships, considering different viewpoints on cause and effect, and interpreting the results to present probable storylines.
Historical studies encompass many areas of research and specialization. These include art, literature, military, social, business, and many more. LGBTQ historians have been a part of this process and contributed to many important insights.
Consider LGBTQ historian Michael Howard as an example. Widely acknowledged as the greatest English military historian of his time, he not only researched and presented historical military events but also broke new ground by integrating the sociological impact of conflict into the discussion. He went on to receive his country's highest civilian honour, the Order of Merit.
There are many more LGBTQ historians of equal stature and impact. We have been able to identify the following notable historians who identify as LGBTQ. This list should be read in conjunction with Academics Specializing in the History of the LGBTQ Community for completeness.
