chlefr

You need to find one (1) primary source from a collection on the LOC site or another similar site with primary sources.  submit a brief analysis paper that touches on the following information:

  • research process:how did you go about it, key issues, challenges, what worked, didn't work, etc,
  • source: what does it say, depict, etc. - authorship(?)-- any descriptive information you can garner, quotes, etc.
  • meaning: what's meaningful about it for understanding more recent American history?   analyze it for significance, credibility, meaning
  • citation:  basic information on where it's located, URL, etc. - a digital copy attached to your paper, if possible, would be helpful to.  The Works Cited reference should include author, title, date, etc. - whatever information you have.  
  • NOTE: your assignment must reflect independent research and your source should not be fundamental, common American document such as Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech: your source can not be one found in the Foner textbook or on a website already in use for the class. Please conduct reseach to find a primary source that is not especially commonplace in American history, but yet, still very meaningful.
