Question

Is an important source of construction of history

Answer 1

All the material which has a direct bearing or can be any assistance in constructing the history of a particular period are called as historical facts or sources.

The historical sources can be of two types, i.e. Primary and Secondary Sources. A primary source is the evidence of an eye witness or mechanical device which was present at the time of the occurrence of an event.

It is the work of the historian to convert the scattered difficult primary evidences into coherent, intelligible secondary sources.
