About
RICHARD CARTER
THE HISTORY TRANSLATOR
"Understanding history means looking at all sides of it."
Richard Carter is a historian, re-enactor and storyteller dedicated to bringing the past into the present. For decades he has researched, collected and lived the history he shares from the legions of Rome to the trenches and battlefields of the Second World War.
His work is driven by a single belief: history isn't a list of dates. It's people, choices, consequences and the courage (or failure) to learn from them. By stepping into the uniforms, kit and routines of the era, he invites audiences to see the human story behind the headlines.
Richard speaks to schools, colleges, museums and community groups across the country, blending careful research with engaging, balanced storytelling that doesn't shy away from the difficult questions.
Accuracy. Respect. Education. That's why we do it.
