Primary sources that are thoughtfully selected can help to bring history and cultures to life for students. Most basically, they are defined as the direct evidence of a time and place that you are studying - any material (documents, objects, etc.) that was produced by eyewitnesses to or participants in an event or historical moment under investigation. Primary sources are interesting to read for their own sake: they give us first hand, you-are-there insights into the past. They are also the most important tools an historian has for developing an understanding of an event. Primary sources serve as the evidence an historian uses in developing an interpretation and in building an argument to support that interpretation. You will be using primary sources not only to help you better understand what went on, but also as evidence as you answer questions and develop arguments about the past. Primary Sources do not speak for themselves, they have to be interpreted. That is, we can't always immediately understand what a primary source means, especially if it is from a culture significantly different from our own. It is therefore necessary to try to understand what it means and to figure out what the source can tell us about the past.

Search for additional evidence to see which argument it supports.
I'm not a historian; this is just an idea. How about looking at how forensic science has impacted historical research? I understand that we have just identified the mummy of Hatshepsut based on forensic evidence.

Indirect evidence should be used when you don't have direct or conclusive proof of a particular fact or conclusion but have supporting information that implies it. It can help build a stronger case or argument when direct evidence is lacking or ambiguous. Indirect evidence can be particularly useful in investigations, historical research, and scientific inquiries.
Undoubtedly the historian's document is a positive and strong source of evidence for historical interpretation provided it is not affected by personal prejudices, selfish national interests or affiliations. History is seldom honest. Mostly it has been mis-interpreted and distorted because of certain vested interests - may be it be the history of Aryans, Greek, Roman or American History
It is very important to examine the evidence of an argument in order to come to a valid conclusion for said argument. If one does not have all the evidence, an invalid conclusion could be made.
