I understand how our knowledge of the past is constructed through analysis of primary sources of many kinds.

A primary source is anything giving information a bout a time period during that time period. For example if you are studying 1900 you would get a poem picture poster anything that was written in 1900 about current events. Primary sources help inform people of a time because you have what the people were thinking and not just like government document or official reports it gives more info. Primary sources can sometimes be misleading if it was propaganda and you take it as fact that would get confusing.
This is art is from a web site about the imperialism, it shows England reaching out and claiming
multipule nations. The web site is Credible because the info is valid.





Photo of people going to the Olympic Games which, were created to bring peace during the imperialism, in 1900 were in France and were pushed to the said because France was hosting the world fair too. The web site is one put on my the oylimpic people and my picture is from a past olympic.

  1. Nice job selecting images for your museum. Not sure if you consider this post finished or not -- make sure to review the directions:

    • a brief description of the object

    • a lively explanation as to how it helps us gain an understanding of life as it was impacted by the New Imperialism

    • an explanation of where the image and information came from and why you think it is a credible/trustworthy source of information. This explanation must be hyperlinked – see detailed guidelines on hyperlinks and citations.
