History books are primary sources. so are you!

History books are primary sources! So are you! What do I mean by that? For certain kinds of history — history of me, you, your community, or town — we are all primary sources. And so is any kind of recorded data, pictures, videos, etc. From hair styles to pop music to politics and religion — whatever happened in the past that involved people — those people were a part of it which means there is plenty to record and preserve (in a way that can be retrieved later).
