Secondary Sources
These are sources written by historians about a topic. Your secondary sources must be academic books or academic articles, written by historians. A good way to judge if a secondary source is academic is if it has footnotes or endnotes.
Secondary sources to use
Articles in scholarly history journals
Academic books (with footnotes/endnotes)
Sources you should NOT use (these will not be accepted):
Encyclopedias (online or in print)
Magazine articles, e.g. from a glossy magazine, such as Maclean's
Websites
Textbook (you cannot use your textbook as a source)
Class lectures
Primary Sources
Are the building blocks of history. These are sources that date to the time of the topic you are researching. Secondary sources might be textual (newspapers, diaries, letters, government documents etc) or non-textual (images or film). There are lots of potential online sources for primary sources - we will discuss this in class.
