The short and superior answer is that social history has outgrown more than labour history. It has outgrown all the other historical sub-cultures. One is making a category mistake one tries to think of social history as if it was an area of enquiry. It is not logically similar to political or military, ecclesiastical or diplomatic, imperial or economic history. It is less a terrain of historical enquiry than a means of conducting one. At its very least it is what Professor Harold Perkin claimed for it, when he made its concern gathering ‘the sap of the social’ where ever it might be found. (The phrase may be unfortunate, but the notion is important,) For a time, as a matter of historiographical fact, social history may have had to stand up for fledgling enterprises such as labour or demographic history. But beyond such transitory duties there is an enduring task. It must aid in the desegregation of all the true historical sub-cultures. Thus, military history ought not to be focused exclusively on armaments, strategies and tactics. It ought – and it increasingly does – look at armies in terms of their social composition: their hierarchies in their relation to larger social divisions: their functions in relation to the civil power and so forth. In short, social history has not got its own agenda. At its best it extends the agendas of the specialised historians. It encourages them to speak to each other and occasionally to nod in the direction of the social historian himself.

Editor’s NoteAlthough “social history” as a method of “doing history” has faded as a topic of analysis among professional historians in the past 15 years, social historians continue to produce interesting and informative work. Among the more active of the contemporary social historians is Peter Burke. See his A Social History of Knowledge: From Gutenberg to Diderot (Cambridge: Polity Press, 2000); A Social History of the Media: From Gutenberg to the Internet (with Asa Briggs) (Cambridge: Polity Press, 2009). Google turns up “social histories” of a wide variety of social and cultural phenomena: education in England, the Third Reich, care of the insane, the English novel, oral contraceptives, English music, cricket, post-war Japan, drugs, women in broadcasting, the English countryside, etc.Social HistoryK.
