Question
Module 1 Primary source assignment – Political/Economic/Intellectual
Portrait of the Royall Family, 1741
One of the key skills history students must learn is how to use primary sources. A primary source
can be a document, artwork, artifact, or oral-history interview, just so long as it tells us
something about the past and is as close as we can get to the past. Primary sources are those
sources created by people who participated in an event, witnessed it firsthand, or at least heard
about it from a credible witness.
5. What is missing? What perspectives and information is not present in the source? How does
this help us to better understand the perspective put forth by this family?
6. How does this source help us to better understand the era we are studying?
In what ways does the portrait of the Royall family found in Chapter 4: Colonial City in the
American Yawp Reader reveal changes in British colonial society? What image did wealthy
colonials desire to project and how has the changing economics of the late seventeenth and early
eighteenth centuries made this possible?
