Sources and Methods for the History of Experience (edited by Reetta Eiranen, Riikka Miettinen & Raisa Maria Toivo) is an open access book showing how the history of experience can be studied. Starting with the question of how past experiences can be traced, the volume explores how historical sources—from egodocuments to statistics and fiction—can reveal past realities in new ways. Accessible yet methodologically advanced, it offers historians and students alike a fresh toolkit for exploring human experience and expanding their research methods.
