Everyone else is worried about clearing all records, but I spent more than a year setting up all the tabs that I want open for my work. After an institutionally mandated "upgrade", numerous programs failed to function and I got remote help that resolved most of those problems. Unfortunately, the remote Tech closed and re-opened Safari without doing a "Restore Previous Session" and then closed it, again. Short of painstakingly pouring over thousands of websites that I have visited over the past 12 – 18 months, perhaps I can find where Safari stored "Restore Last Session" history file I need within Time Machine.
Any suggestions? I looked in ~Library//Caches/Metadata/Safari and found thousands of websites, but no "Restore Last Session"
Where is history stored with Safari 10.1 under OS10.11

First, close Safari, then enter Time Machine from
/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Safari/.Next, restore the
LastSession.plistfile.Then reopen Safari and then you can "Reopen All Windows from Last Session" in the History menu.
