Once their research is complete, they present their findings through articles, books, reports, exhibits, websites, and educational programs. In government, some historians conduct research to provide information on specific events or groups. Many write about the history of a particular government agency, activity, or program, such as a military operation or space missions. For example, they may research the people and events related to Operation Desert Storm.
In historical associations, historians may work with archivists, curators, and museum workers to preserve artifacts and explain the historical significance of a wide variety of subjects, such as historic buildings, religious groups, and battlegrounds.
Workers with a background in history also may go into one of these occupations. Many people with a degree in history also become high school teachers or postsecondary teachers.
