Researchers in this field investigate primary sources such as letters, diaries, photographs, government records, and other documents to understand past events, people, and societies. Archival research is essential for historians, anthropologists, social scientists, and other scholars seeking to uncover and interpret historical information and perspectives. This research method requires careful examination of original sources, evaluating their reliability, and contextualizing them within the broader historical context.
