OPVL
- International Baccalaureate (IB) terminology

O	Origin	primary or secondary source? authentic and reliable?
P	Purpose	why was the source created? what was the authors purpose
V	Value	how / why this source is used to understand history
L	Limit	problems with value, reliability, authenticity of source

Primary source[edit | edit source]

Secondary source[edit | edit source]

Academic sources[edit | edit source]

when academics write about history, these are not sources so much as interpretations and evaluations of other sources.
that is what a book on "history" does:
- it evaluates events, people, places, and sources
- it interprets them
- it synthesizes them into a presentable format
limitations on academic sources
- academics have their own point of view and may process historical information according to it
- academics can pick and choose their own sources in order to confirm their preconceived biases on historical events and actors
- academics may have a specialty that biases or limits their interpretation of history

Macro or "Big View" history[edit | edit source]

Micro history[edit | edit source]
