Primary sources are original source created or compiled during an observation or event. These documents are raw materials which provide first-hand accounts or direct evidence about a topic under the examination. Primary sources, according to William Kelleher Storey in Writing History: A Guide for Students, “originate in the time period that historian are studying and vary a great deal.” Primary source documents can help reconstruct a particular event that happened in the past. For example, if someone
The horses hooves galloped and came to a slow stop as the Everus family arrived in their grand carriage to the front gates of the manor of Lord Pandora. A butler from beside the gates allowed Lord Alexander Everus, Lady Elizabeth Everus, and young Aya Everus to file out. The Pandora Manor was just as great as the Everus manor. The small noble family of three walked through the gates hand in hand. This would be young Aya’s first time visiting the Pandora Manor. Someone special was waiting here for
List and describe the three categories of primary source material. In law research, according to Yell (2016), “Primary sources are actual statements of the law” (p.14). Yell also mentions the three categories of primary sources; “laws or statues created by either federal or state legislatures and signed in to the law, regulations promulgated by administrative agencies to implement the statues, and judicial decisions the interpret that statutes and regulations” (p. 14). Why are the annotated code
During the course, History 202, there were information and skills gained from the course. I learned information and skills that I did not know before the course. My expectations from the course were met and helped me polish my writing skills. This course was what I anticipated it to be and the work given was useful. The most important things that I learned were primary and secondary sources. A primary source is a source such as a document or picture that was created at that time. A secondary source
When studying for history, or trying to learn more facts, we may wonder what sources we should use. However, the main one that we should use are primary sources. These primary sources can be diaries, journals, pictures, newspapers, and other articles along that line. However, in school we are being taught with books that are not exactly primary sources. Meaning, the textbooks that we are supposed to use in the classrooms can be biased. Such as the online textbooks Digital History and The Outline
My Artifact The object I discovered is a small metal object with a decorative shape. It has some sort of metal spring inside and is composed of two metal sections in similar size and shape connected by a hinge, with a screw connected to the bottom of one piece. I can assume that this object was most likely used for holding a thin object using the spring to keep it in place. The screw, however, might have been inserted into a holder of some sort in order to keep both the object being held and the
Primary sources, in other words “firsthand” accounts. These accounts are based on original data and knowledge (i.e. the Fifteenth Amendment.) Primary sources are real life experiences; however, these experiences were documented when the event happened. When a reader is looking for sources, primary sources are unlike secondary sources, they are the real deal, not someone’s interpretation, commentary or what they think may have happened. Princeton.edu states “Some types of primary sources include:

What type of document is this?(Primary/Secondary and what IS it?) This document is a primary sources document because this is an report of what’s actually happen during the event. In this case, it’s a report about south after the Civil war by Carl Schurz which he went to the south and report about how the people in the south is doing. 2. What is the bias of this Author, as it relates to this topic? What might account for this bias? I think the bias of this report is that Schurz opinion about the
A primary source analysis is used to represent one of the most important jobs of an historian. By the analyses of the primary source one is able to examine firsthand information from all the possible areas of an event person or object. There are a couple of primary sources in “The Rise of Western Power: A Comparative History of Western Civilization by Jonathan Daly.
