I was talking about randomly going back to see who really did steal the cookies from the cookie jar. I think these stored histories though would actually be more in the line of stored memories, and are always associated with objects. So you see it from the view of the person who 'recorded' the event. Example would be a powerful mage can read a scroll from a powerful sorcerer who felt the need to store his memories of an event, and so he is able to see the event from the authors view. I also think it would be possible for mages to "renact" an event using illusions spells and past histories. The "renactment" follows the history which may or may not be correct, but "renactment" is not able to pull it directly out of time.
