This paper offers an ethnographic account of the community of professional historians. It seeks, on the basis of interviews with key informants, to construct a picture of what history is like as a discipline; what special features of its epistemology help to differentiate it from other disciplines; and what characterises the profession itself in terms of its career structure, value system and preferred modes of communication. In conclusion, an attempt is made to identify the historian's distinctive world-view
