I am very interested in history, and would like to have a career that has to do with history. I'm not sure what careers would have to do with history though, other than a history teacher. If anybody knows any other history-oriented jobs could you please name them and describe them a bit?

There are subcategories of archeology with different specialities such as linguistic (language) or biophysical (human body) archeologist.
Anthropologist study the development and behavior of humans.
Historians research and interpret the past.
Biographers research information on a specific person and write about them.
Archivists maintain information (usually old documents) stored for safekeeping. This may include historical documents.
Museum curators oversee museums, including obtaining items for exhibition. They are usually responsible for verifying the authenticity of an item. They also oversee and help conduct the research projects of the museum as well as the educational programs.
