One of the most important tips for developing your skills as a researcher and historian is to read, think, discuss, and write about everything you find interesting from the past. Reflect on what you read and engage with it critically. For example, ask yourself the following questions: What is the author's argument? Is it convincing? Why or why not? What evidence does the author use to support their argument? What might their approach to the past be missing? What else do historians need to discover? What primary sources would help historians better understand this topic?
Based on these questions, write down your thoughts, discuss them with others, and apply the same analytical skills to everything you watch, listen to, or visit.
