Description
For historians looking to expand their approach, this student guide brings together diverse sources and expert perspectives. It explores visual, oral, aural, and virtual sources, as well as traditional text, to inform historical work. The book introduces readers to various sources, including fine art, photography, film, oral history, architecture, and material culture, highlighting the methodological and theoretical questions historians should consider when using them. Case studies illustrate best practice in analysis and interpretation, while the introduction discusses the nature of historical sources and their unique factors. By incorporating a wide range of primary sources into their work, historians can gain new insights and perspectives on historical events and phenomena. This collection of essays aims to inspire practitioners of history to expand their horizons and explore alternative approaches to understanding the past.
