Sources Things that tell us about the past Two types of Source: Primary and Secondary

Primary Sources Comes directly form the past, survives from that time Diaries, letters, government records, newspapers, autobiographies Photos, paintings from that time Interviews with survivors from the past Artifacts An artifact is any object used by people e.g. coins, tools, pottery, bones.

Secondary Source Does not come directly from the time Written or made after the event Your history book, a biography, a novel set in the past A film

Unreliable Sources Not all sources are trustworthy Some could lie Some could be mistaken about facts Biased – take sides Prejudiced – could make unfair judgments Give examples of these
