Human memory is notoriously unreliable.
A map is technically an “objective”
source.

Sworn testimony is strong evidence, although it can be corrupted by lying, coercion, and the shakiness of human memory.

Textbooks from the 1980s overlooked or
neglected American Indian experiences. A
newspaper from 1876 does not have the
hindsight of later sources or would likely be
biased in favor of the federal government.

What is history?
History is a dynamic, contested, evidence-based discipline that involves an exciting engagement with the past.
…It is also an interpretive discipline, allowing opportunity for engagement with multiple perspectives and a plurality of opinions.
Studying history develops an understanding of the past, which leads to a deeper understanding of the nature of humans and of the world today.

Historical Methodology
–Ways by which historians use
primary sources and other
evidence to research and write
about the past
![Page 19: Bellringer - IB History of the Americas Year 1 · (OPVL) Texts MUST be critically examined –What if two sources disagree? –Can the information be corroborated by other sources?](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042103/5e80eefa2956860b8f662919/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Historical Research
Includes:
1. Gathering evidence regarding the past
2. Evaluating that evidence within the scope of the
period under study
3. Examining how that evidence contributes to our
understanding of that period
![Page 20: Bellringer - IB History of the Americas Year 1 · (OPVL) Texts MUST be critically examined –What if two sources disagree? –Can the information be corroborated by other sources?](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042103/5e80eefa2956860b8f662919/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Historical Interpretation
– Historians use various approaches in their writing (historiography)
– "History" is not "What happened in the past" or even "The surviving evidence of what happened in the past". It means "What historians choose to interpret from the surviving evidence of the past"
– This means we should critically examine each secondary source we use in our research

What is source evaluation?
Consideration of a source’s
- Origin (Who? Where? When? What?)
- Purpose (Why was it created?)
- Value (Usefulness to answering the research question)
- and Limitations (Where does that usefulness end?)
- Relevance to the research question
(OPVL)

Texts MUST be critically
examined
– What if two sources disagree?
– Can the information be corroborated by other
sources?
– Which source has the most “authority”?
– Expert, eyewitness, etc.
– How reliable is this information?
