World history is an interdisciplinary field. World historians must be
ready to become conversant with the various academic disciplines,
theories, and research methods that contribute to knowledge of world history.
While it is beyond the resources of the World History Network to
attempt a complete catalogue of references on the methods and disciplines
relevant to world history, we can offer some instructive examples.
The links on this page lead you three examples of major methodological
websites:
Disciplines: Archaeology
Theories: Genetic theory
Research methods: Classifying languages
More generally, by selecting "Research Methods" in the Network Search,
you will find a selection of websites giving useful guidance on a range
of disciplines, theories, and research methods known to be significant
for world history.
