How can I effectively use primary sources in my research?

Using primary sources can greatly enhance your research. They provide firsthand accounts and original data. What specific type of research are you conducting?

I'm working on a history project about World War II.

Great! For a history project, primary sources like letters, photographs, and official documents from that era can be invaluable. Have you found any specific sources yet?

I found some letters from soldiers. How should I analyze them?

When analyzing letters, consider the author's perspective, the context in which they were written, and the emotions conveyed. Look for themes and how they relate to historical events.

That makes sense! Should I include these letters in my bibliography?

Yes, definitely! Make sure to cite them properly in your bibliography to give credit and allow others to find the sources.
