Find two (2) primary source documents on Irish Immigration before 1865. There are a number of web sites such as those of the Library of Congress and the National Archives that contain digitized copies of primary sources that you may use. Please use copies of the primary source – not a transcription – you want to see it as it looked when created/used.

For each primary source you find, create a separate entry that includes all of the following information:

• Complete the worksheet in detail.
• Write a narrative analysis of the primary source, using the information you collected on the worksheet
• Explain how the item pertains to your topic
• Create a bibliographic entry (as you would include it in your bibliography) for the primary source – in Chicago Humanities style
