Why document something that everyone does? History is captured in sources like published news, government statistics, personal letters, etc. A personal behavior that is widely understood would not necessarily be newsworthy enough to capture in any of those places. This is a real problem for historians: unusual occurrences are usually well-documented in permanent media; everyday life usually is not. |
