Bibliography

When a historian researches documents for a paper, book, or article they look at two categories of sources. They are referred to as primary and secondary sources. This project contains both primary and secondary sources. A primary source refers to records that were created during a given time period, providing a contemporary or first hand account of a historical event. It also refers to documents written or recorded later in the form of memoirs or oral histories. Some of the examples of primary sources include: diaries; journals; letters; manuscripts; newspaper; memoirs; photographs; moving pictures or video recordings; interviews; government agency produced documents; speeches; research data; and artifacts such as art, tools, buildings, weapons, and even ancient roads. Primary sources provide the researcher with raw material in which they draw from to better understand the past. Secondary sources provide an analysis of primary sources. They offer an explanation of the primary sources and are sometimes used to prove an argument. Some of the examples of secondary sources include: textbooks, encyclopedias, dictionaries, and both books and articles that review work. Secondary sources provide an analysis, interpretation, evaluation, synthesis, or generalization of events in the past.

The following lists of materials also constitute the bibliography of this project.
