? Primary sources are the raw materials of history — original documents and objects
which were created at the time under study. A primary source is something from the
period in your person’s life. It can be a newspaper or magazine article, or something
else created back in that time related to the topic of your person’s pivotal period –
something that tells you more about the era or the topic of your person’s life-changing
period. (Primary means “first” – a first hand source from that period)
? Secondary sources must be a scholarly book or article, or a RELIABLE scholarly
internet site or webpage. (Wikipedia or history.com or like cites are not appropriate)
A SECONDARY SOURCE is something written by a historian about the past. Historians
do extensive research and then interpret and create a cohesive, accurate account of
some topic in the past. It is “second-hand” information, because you are reading the
historian’s work, not something created by the actual historical actors in the past.
S

econdary sources help give you background information, so that you can understand
the significance of events in your person’s life
Suggestions for secondary sources: NON FICTION books (not novels) about the era or
about a topic important to your person in his/her era, biographies, scholarly articles. For
example, a secondary source might be a book about the 1960s if your person had a life-
changing event in the 1960s. Or a university website might have information – carefulthat you don’t stumble on a page that was created by a university student as part of a
class project. Answer Preview…………….What facts did you find in your research about the topic and years of the critical event in your person’s life that help you to understand the person? There are several facts about the time when the turning point event of the Life of Hellen Keller’s occurred that help people better understand the historical figure. One fact is the year of birth of Hellen Keller and the year when her teacher, Anne Sullivan started teaching her. According to the writings of Hellen, she was born in June, 27th in 1880. The author received the teacher for deafness and blindness in 1886, six years after her birth. Therefore, the condition of the author came at a period between 1880 and 1886 (Keller & Sullivan, 1904). She was very young when she became deaf and blind, and the fact explains why she did not have clear memories of what happened in her childhood and before she became deaf as she says in her autobiography. In the story of the life of the author, Hellen talks well of the time and the environment before she became disabled, but gives insufficient information. Therefore, it is clear that she remembered very little. The years of the late 1880s and early 20th century were characterized by discrimination against the disabled and the use of disability to justify discrimination.
