Different Types of Sources
Primary sources
These are first-hand clues or sources from the actual time period. It is important to remember that evidence from
the past is never complete. Much primary evidence has yet to be forgotten, lost or destroyed.
Secondary sources
This is processed information that takes the form of people speaking or writing about evidence long after the
event. Information presented in secondary sources is based on evidence from primary sources. They are called
secondary sources because whoever has written them has put in their conclusions and ideas, and too, it is not just
evidence. A school textbook is an example secondary source.

Interpreting Different Types of Source
Written sources
These include books, articles, speeches, biographies and autobiographies.
You will be required to extract, interpret, analyse or synthesise information from these sources.
Pay attention to the context.
A source should be read in its context; this includes the date, the producer, the reason it was produced, and
the events surrounding it.
When was it produced?
If it is during the event (speech) or long after the event (a historian writing about the impact of the speech)
Who produced the source?
This could be an ordinary citizen, politician, academic, journalist, or artist.

The Cold War
What are the key concepts?
Here you can compile a glossary of important historical concepts for the topic.
Visual Sources
Photographs
A photograph makes for a very valuable historical source; it is usually taken at the time of the event. To analyse
the picture, you still need to apply context as outlined above, which has implications for its reliability.

photographer is taking the picture for.
Why was this photo taken?

, Which perspective is depicted in the photo?
This can be from an ordinary citizen’s perspective or an elevated position, i.e. a politician giving a speech
showing the audience or parts of the audience that seem to be supporting them. The subject the photographer has
chosen to focus on in the photo indicates their viewpoint.
What is missing in the photo?
Determine if there are subjects or objects from this historical event that needs to be shown in the picture and
whether this prevents you from getting a clear view of the event.
Has the picture been manipulated?
Has the photographer cropped or removed some elements of the picture to emphasise others?
