Primary Sources as Evidence: Home

Careful Primary Source Analysis

Careful primary source analysis -  the steps are the same each time, for every type of primary source:

  1. Meet the document
  2. Observe its parts.
  3. Try to make sense of it.
  4. Use it as historical evidence.

Citing your Primary Sources!

Best Practices:

  • Create a new project in your mybib.com account as soon the project is assigned.
  • Add each source into mybib as you find it and you will have a list of all your sources so you will not forget or lose any.
