1 Analyzing Photographs and Prints PRIMARY SOURCES

2 “We can learn from and about history by analyzing historic primary sources, like letters, photographs, maps, drawings, sheet music, advertisements, recordings, and political cartoons.” (Library of Congress)

3 Primary Sources and Secondary Sources When writing history, historians ask themselves five W’s: What happened? When and where did it happen? Who was involved? Why did it happen? To find answers, they look for primary sources. These sources are first-hand, or eyewitness, accounts of the event. They also seek out secondary sources, or second- hand records of what happened.
