Primary
sources provide a first-hand personal glimpse into the past. They
are the original, raw materials used to study, analyze, and interpret
recent or distant histories and cultures.
These
pages help you find primary source material at Smith and online. While many archival materials are now digitized with web
access, you may prefer to visit the archival repository in person.
Those
less familiar with archival research may start with the Five
College Archives & Manuscripts Primary Source Research Guide
for definitions and samples of primary sources, tips on locating
archival and manuscript materials, and information on visiting local
archives. |
