Historiography refers both to the process of writing history as well as to the products derived from that writing (articles, books, monographs, conference papers, etc.). Historiography also examines the methods and approaches of history, especially as they change in response to new ideas or fashion.
An especially interesting problem is that of dividing the world into usable chunks, or Periodization.
