Answer the following questions:

1. What is internal and external criticism?External Criticism – The practice of verifying the
authenticity of evidence by examining its physical characteristics; consistency with the
historical characteristics of the time when it was produced; and the material used for the
evidence
Internal Criticism – Looks at content of the course and examine the circumstances of its
production, it also looks on the truthfulness and factuality of the evidence by looking by
the author source, its context, the agenda behind its creation, the knowledge which informed
it, and its intended purpose. Entails that the historian acknowledge and analyze how such
reports can be manipulated to be used as a war propaganda. Validates important historical
sources for unverified, falsified and untruthful historical source that can lead to equally false
conclusion. Without this thorough criticism of historical evidences, historical deceptions and lies
will all be probable

2. What are the different repositories of primary sources?There are many kinds of primary sources
including texts (letters, diaries, government reports, newspaper accounts, novels,
autobiographies), images (photographs, paintings, advertisements, posters), artifacts (buildings,
clothing, sculpture, coins) and audio/visual (songs, oral history interviews, films).
