Primary Sources: Choose 5-6 Primary Sources. Give full bibliographic citations following the Turabian/Chicago guidelines. Primary Sources are documents created by historical actors and observers, by someone present in the historical moment. This may include letters, diaries, memoirs, newspapers, government publications, etc. The Library of Congress is a remarkable collection of Primary Sources, but you may also find primary sources related to your topic in state or university libraries as well. Annotate each bibliographic entry with 3-4 lines explaining the source’s relationship to your writing project.
Secondary Sources: Choose 5-6 Secondary Sources. Give full bibliographic citations following the Turabian/Chicago guidelines. Secondary Sources should be no more than 25 years old. Secondary Works should be scholarly historical works and should not include reference works (encyclopedias, almanacs, textbooks), book reviews, web sites, or popular/commercial publications. It is perfectly appropriate to use electronic material in your Secondary Works, especially e-books of scholarly books or databases of academic journals, but it must be scholarly and appropriately cited. Web encyclopedias, blogs, wikis, etc., are unacceptable sources. Annotate each bibliographic entry with 3-4 lines explaining the source’s relationship to your writing project.

Word count will vary depending on length of titles, number of entries, length of annotations, etc.
