This guide supports research and teaching with our Rare Books and Special Collections.

Managing Primary Sources

Managing primary sources supports analysis, interpretation, and saves time. At the time of your visit or soon thereafter, you will need sufficient information to cite your source and to connect your observations and notes to the source and its retrieval location. You may also want to keep track of observations, questions, surprises, and post-reflection as well as image file names. 

We have included a basic worksheet. Adapt to your needs of capturing and managing primary sources.
