Are there documented shifts in how history, time, and accuracy were regarded in society?

While this question is way too broad, we have a really good example in terms of the international working class movement. EP Thompson's "Time, work-discipline and industrial capitalism" Past and Present, discusses the change from fields and craft times, including Saint Monday (the unofficial extension of the Sunday weekend forced by workers), into industrial time set by clocks motions and machines in the factory system. The railways, correspondingly, brought uniform time across local areas through telegraph synchronised timings.
As far as the birth of the modern conception of history in the workers movement, part of this comes from the adoption of liberal historiography (including Marxist historiography) from without, including the forced adoption of national narratives through schooling. Part of this comes through the self-education that the workers movement emphasised up to the 1970s, with lectures on the history and historical significance of workers themselves.
