Source Evaluation

Source evaluation is the practice of judging the reliability and perspective of historical documents, images, or artifacts. By considering who made the source, when, and why, you can avoid bias and get closer to the truth.

Examples

  • Checking if a news article is from a trustworthy outlet.

  • Questioning the perspective of a primary source letter from a historical figure.
