My interests lie primarily with social history - the grass roots history of the minutiae of everyday life contextualised within wider international, national and local social, cultural, medical and political paradigms. History is far more than the dates and names of victors (and losers) caught up in major world events; it is the often disparate stories of regular men, women and children. Most importantly, history is best celebrated, respected and accessible to all when it’s served with a collaborative dose of fun.

Tereza De Guara is a freelance historian.

An independent historian researching and writing histories and significance assessments for institutions, organisations and individuals. My style of writing draws on high level research of primary and secondary sources that are presented in a narrative style. This approach provides academic level research that is readily comsumed by the general reader. I endevour to provide an empathetic view of history though weaving the lived experience of individuals into my narratives. History should be felt while it is learned.
