Primary Sources : The purpose Primary Documents serves in history, How has it changed in two decades & the impact it still have on the "telling" of history

Primary source give us first hand insights into the past. They are also the most important tools an historian has for developing an understanding of an event. Primary sources serve as the evidence an historian uses in developing an interpretation and in building an argument to support that interpretation. A lot has changed because there are more technology today, people are using computers, laptop etc. The impacts that primary documents will have on telling history is that we learn more stuff of what happen in the past & gain more skills for researching sources .
