History

As​ ​historians,​ ​we​ ​often​ ​look​ ​at​ ​primary​ ​sources​ ​or​ ​documents​ ​for​ ​evidence​ ​in​ ​history.​ ​A​ ​primary document​ ​is​ ​anything​ ​that​ ​is​ ​created​ ​at​ ​the​ ​time​ ​of​ ​an​ ​event​ ​or​ ​by​ ​someone​ ​who​ ​was​ ​an eyewitness.​ ​Examples​ ​of​ ​primary​ ​documents​ ​are​ ​letters,​ ​diaries,​ ​court​ ​or​ ​civil​ ​records, newspapers,​ ​census​ ​records,​ ​or​ ​recorded​ ​oral​ ​histories.​ ​Each​ ​has​ ​a​ ​drawback,​ ​but​ ​when​ ​taken with​ ​other​ ​sources,​ ​an​ ​accurate​ ​interpretation​ ​of​ ​what​ ​happened​ ​can​ ​be​ ​created.
