Lincoln Assassination Eyewitness (Feb 9, 1956) - YouTube - 2 views
-
1950s game show appearance of witness to Lincoln Assassination. Not many people would believe that one person can connect the mid 19th century and the age of television. This can also show students that there are different qualities to primary sources - some primary sources are more valuable than others. This is a primary source because he was a witness, but he is remembering something from 100 years ago. Is he still a primary source?

I include this in the collection not just because of the great primary sources, but because it demonstrates the value of smaller collections. State and local historical archives often have digitized content they make available for free, or for a nominal usage fee. Just remember to cite your source for any content you use.

"The Library holds 90,000 old pamphlets, many published in the 19th century or the early part of the 20th century. This is primary source material, published and written by pressure groups, political parties and individual campaigners." I'm getting lazy, letting the sources speak for themselves. Oh well.

Mongolian Culture - 2 views

A vast and unorganised collection of secondary and primary source sites on all things Mongol. Amazing that there are so many sources left seeings the Mongols tended to burn any sources they came across. Along with the people who might have written them, come to think of it. Maybe that's why their PR is so bad?
