Enquiry route: What are the sources of history? What historical knowledge are we likely to acquire from these sources? 1. List the sources of history including funeral brochures, oral tradition, old photographs, old letters and diaries, arts and craft works, old newspapers, dirges, appellation and books. 2. Classify these sources under primary and secondary sources. 3. Explain how relevant historical information can we obtain from old newspapers and diaries? (E.g. Natural disasters - drought, bushfire etc.)
