It is an umbrella term that relates to past events as well as the memory, discovery, collection, organization, presentation, and interpretation of information about these events.
Hence History definitely has some sources. This paper is an attempt to investigate the sources of historical study and to spread light on its classifications and also to evaluate the sources. In the early modern period, the term historiography tended to be used in a more basic sense, to mean simply "the writing of history". Historiographer therefore meant "historian", and it is in this sense that certain official historians were given the title "Historiographer Royal", in Sweden, England, and Scotland.
The Scottish post is still in existence. Historiography was more recently defined as "the study of the way history has been and is written — the history of historical writing. Historiography helps us to understand the psychology of the historian, his technique of writing 1 Brian Joseph and Janda, Richard ed.

Blackwell Publishing published 30 December ISBN Historical sources thus comprise everything created at an earlier date and available to us in the form of objects of material culture or written documents that permit evaluation of the manners, customs, and language of peoples, if concerned with human history.
Historical sources are the basis of any historical investigation, and unless they are studied in a dialectical unity of content and form there can be no scientific knowledge of the history of the development of society. In a broad sense the quantity of historical sources is unlimited; there is much variation, however, in the number of sources preserved from different periods, which directly affects the completeness and precision of historical knowledge.
Historical sources are sparsest of the primitive period; for the most part, these are material sources studied by archaeology. There are mainly three types of Historical Sources. These sources are the contemporary accounts of an event, created by witnesses or recorders who experienced the events or conditions being documented. They provide first-hand testimony or direct evidence concerning the topic under investigation.
They are the original work, as well as historical items and references close to the subject. These sources were present during an experience or time period and offer an inside view of a particular event. They are original manuscript, documents or records used in preparing a published or unpublished work.
Census data, verbatim of interviews, attitude and opinion surveys and oral histories are some examples of the second type of primary sources. Documentary films can be considered as either primary or secondary source, depending on how much the film maker modifies the original sources. In historical scholarship, a primary source is a document or other source of information that was created at or near the time frame being studied, by an authoritative source, usually one with the direct personal knowledge of the events being described.
In this sense the Primary sources are not superior sources. Tags: History.
