Historical Sources

23 05 2007

Today we worked on sources of historical information. Here are the notes and exercises for those who missed class.

Primary – From the actual time or someone who was actually there. Eg. Personal diary, newspaper report, photo, documentary footage.

Secondary – from someone else based on primary sources. eg. A history book.

Tertiary – from someone who was not there and based on secondary sources. Eg. An Encyclopaedia.
