In studying of history, historians use historical sources. And as the time
pass by this materials are getting little by little. Maybe, there are only little usable
materials left for historians to use because it may already be used or have depleted over
time, or due to climate conditions, wars, or the environmental factors. Letters, diaries,
photograph are just an examples of primary resources that a historian used to study a
history. Primary sources provide a first-hand account of an event or time period and are
authoritative. They represent original thinking, reports on discoveries or events, or they
can share new information. They often attempt to describe or explain primary sources.
Now, the historical sources were displayed at the museum.
