Research Guidance
Questions to consider asking:
- What do I know? (What have I assumed?)
- Who authored the source? What was their motivation?
- Is there another source that covers this topic? What details vary?
- What else was going on around this time?
Guidance
- For each fact you find, cite your source.
- Create a digital archive of each source you cite. Use your discretion to determine if that archive is publicly available or not.
- See digital-archives to understand how digital archiving can help to preserve the history of Coraopolis today for the citizens of tomorrow.
- Look for public domain information.
- I recommend checking the copyright status of a source before you engage with it. If the copyright status is ambiguous, it is better to know that in advance.
