Module 3: How to use primary sources
|
First, consider what kind of a primary source document you have. Is it a letter, a newspaper clipping, a report? Is it a photograph? If so, what photographic technology was used to create it? No matter what kind of document you’re dealing with, be as specific as possible about what it is. You must understand the type of historical record it is in order to go on to the next set of questions.
If it is a type of document you’re unfamiliar with, you may need to do some background research.
