ThT – Terms, Histories, Technology

„It is useful to distinguish between the past, what happened; history, accounts of the past; and heritage, which consists of those parts of the past that affect us in the present. […] Histories are always multiple and incomplete […] Included in our cultural, intellectual, and professional heritage are the historical narratives we know and we accept and which help shape our sense of identity.“
