Learning about history is not just about trying to memorise dates and facts, but about trying to understand the experiences of other people in the past. To piece together a more complete picture we have to collect evidence from a number of different sources. Often they just look like old bits of yellow paper. However, a closer look can reveal a lot about historical events, about places, and most importantly about people.

Remember! These sources are not just interesting; they are also about how history affected people and their lives.
