Introduction: Localités And Nationalism As The Vestigial And The Lncipient?, Newton Key
Faculty Research & Creative Activity
The professionalization of history was tightly bound to nationalism. Historians in early modern Europe distinguished between story and inventory: chronology and chorography.

Even as local history professionalized and cut its antiquarian/chorographical roots, the profession still marginalized it, and local history was mainly published by antiquarian or local societies.
