Working with the history files is not easy and it very much depends on what you really want to do. In the general case, it is not enough to find, for instance, all ways tagged with highway=*, you have to find the nodes that were used by those ways at the time when those ways were current. If you are only interested in the tags and their history and not the location of those ways, it becomes much easier. So first, you have to understand the details of the OSM data model and how it plays out in the history files. Osmium has many building blocks that you will need, it can read the history files, there are tag filter classes (osmium::tags::KeyFilter and osmium::tags::KeyValueFilter) and ways to store and index data. But there is no easy recipe. Maybe you can tell us a bit more about what you want to accomplish in the end and we can have more tips for you then.
