Wilson's Writings
Writngs Contemporary to Wilson
Periodicals Contemporary to Wilson
Primary sources used in historical research are items which are contemporary
to the historical event. Secondary sources are created by others (often historians)
outside of the event or time period, analyzing it from an outside perspective.
Writings by participants in a historical event (e.g. speeches, letters, published
books), autobiographies, media accounts, and government/official documents are
typical examples of primary sources.
The bibliographies listed above and in-depth
works on the subject will list some primary sources. Check the Library book catalog to see if you can get a copy of a primary source here at
Lake Forest or via another Library.
