Making Sense of History presents two approaches that will help  students and teachers make effective use of primary sources. "Making Sense of Documents" includes sections on specific types of primary sources, such as oral history, maps, letters and diaries, advertisements, and documentary photography; historians offer tips for analyzing online primary sources and provide a guide to online and print sources. "Scholars in Action" allows students to interpret a specific primary source (e.g., letters of labor activist Sarah Bagley) before listening to a historian discuss the document.
