![Clocks on display at Target (I think). Check out the budding historian overlooking these clocks in the upper right. I didn't realize I had captured him in the photo along with the clocks but am delighted I did. 2018.](https://i0.wp.com/maryewarner.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/20181020_130335.jpg?resize=640%2C480&ssl=1)
Historians are explorers.
Their terrain is the past,
Vast, deep, complicated.
Their tools:
Archival materials,
Three-dimensional artifacts,
Places and structures.
Their discoveries are wondrous,
Though-provoking,
Potentially dangerous,
Life-changing.
They collect the past,
Analyze it,
And bring it into the present,
So that it remains useful
Now
And into the future.
Historians reanimate the dead.
