Is reading history papers a good way to learn more about history?
Yes and no, isn't this the beginning of a useful answer?

Seriously, I think it depends on whether you have a theme or not. Generally speaking, the thesis requires original research on the topic selection. With the passage of time, a large number of papers have been produced, which often involve obscure or little-known aspects of historical events, people or periods.

So I think it's crazy to learn the thesis at first, and it's not attractive after a long time. However, if you have a topic of interest in your mind and you want to know more about it, it may be a very good way to dig papers to gain some real in-depth knowledge about a specific topic.

There are many beautiful things in the world, sometimes even spectacular things. I remember many years ago, I watched a program on PBS, which was the result of1a paper by a midwife practicing medicine in Massachusetts and Maine in the late 8th century.

This is a fascinating and intimate observation of daily life in the colonial era, telling a story that has been ignored by historians for many years. The Wall Street Journal piled up there, and God knows how many times it was put aside by historians (mostly men) looking for "important" people and major events. When the young woman who wrote this paper found this magazine, she knew that she had dug up gold.

Although the midwife is not a very important person in politics or society, she is a very important person in the community she serves. She knows the details of the people around her, which is fascinating. Her research results directly contributed to PBS movies, which is one of the best things I have ever seen. I am ashamed to say that I have never dug up her paper and I am not familiar with the original.

However, as an example, I think her paper is a living proof that it is a particularly good thing to find a treasure among the piles of papers scattered in libraries all over the country.
