Sources of History


Sources of History

History is the study of past events. We learn about history from different sources. These sources are divided into three types:

1. Material Sources
2. Written Sources
3. Oral Sources


1. Material Sources

Things used by people in the past help us understand history. These are called artefacts.

Examples of material sources:

  • Ancient pots and utensils – tell us about food habits.
  • Jewelry and ornaments – show social life.
  • Coins and seals – give information about trade and kings.
  • Old buildings and monuments – show how people lived.

Example: Ancient people roasted food grains. Some burnt grains remained intact and were found in excavations.


2. Written Sources

In ancient times, people wrote on different materials like:

  • Rocks, copper plates, and palm leaves – Used for important inscriptions.
  • Books on religion and science – Help in understanding old traditions.
  • Travel stories (Travelogues) – Written by travelers about what they saw.

Example: Kings wrote their orders on stone and copper plates.


3. Oral Sources

Some history is passed down by speaking (not writing). These are called oral sources.

Examples:

  • Folk songs and stories – tell about old traditions.
  • Poems and prayers – remembered and shared by people.

Example: The Vedas were first memorized and later written down.
