Mastering Document Analysis

Historical documents are more than just windows into the past; they’re also standard fare for pretty much every history course. MDA gives you a simple 3-step approach so you can extract information, develop a contextual understanding, and assess sources as historical evidence. Individual lessons provide guided examples for every type of primary and secondary source, including letters, speeches, memoirs, charts, photographs, poetry, textbooks, fiction, political cartoons, newspapers, and more.
