What is reenacting and living history?
Living history is someone putting together a collection of articles (clothing, location, weapons, hair style, etc.) that represent a person in a specific, historical time period. This collection of articles is generally called someone’s “impression.” Beyond the simple collection, living history involves someone wearing and using their collection acting and talking in a historical manner. In essence this actor becomes immersed in the time period. Reenacting is a group of living historians re-living/reenacting a particular moment in history.
