Study Notes
Primary and Secondary Sources
- Primary sources are produced concurrently with the period or subject being analyzed.
- Secondary sources derive their information from primary sources, enabling authors to create new interpretations.
Examples of Primary Sources
- Photographs document social conditions and historical realities, as well as everyday life.
- Political cartoons serve as expressions of political views and sentiments.
- Material evidence includes prehistoric artifacts, cave drawings, and historical data such as old maps and charts.
- Oral histories and recordings capture firsthand accounts from eyewitnesses or participants, later utilized for research.
Forgery and Mislabeling in Philippine History
- Cases of forgery are prevalent, including the mislabeling of historical documents.
- Ambeth Ocampo discovered a draft of Rizal’s alleged third novel, labeled "Borrador Del Noli Me Tangere."
- The story of Roman Roque involved forging General Urbano Lacuna's signature, leading to the capture of General Emilio Aguinaldo.
Criticism of Historical Sources
- Historians perform external and internal criticisms to assess the reliability and authenticity of sources, especially as they age.
- External criticism involves verifying the physical characteristics and historical consistency of an evidence item, including the type of ink used.
Notorious Deceptions
- The hoax concerning the Code of Kalantiaw is one of the most notorious in Philippine history.
- Ferdinand Marcos falsely claimed to be a decorated World War II soldier and the leader of a guerilla unit called 'Ang Maharlika', a claim later disproven through U.S. war records.
- This example illustrates how historical inaccuracies can flourish without thorough research.
Evaluating Historical Evidence
- Historians scrutinize the circumstances surrounding the creation of evidence, including the author's background, contextual factors, agendas, and intended purposes to establish authenticity.
- The Code of Kalantiaw was mistakenly regarded as a significant precolonial document before its authenticity was challenged.
Challenges in Historical Beliefs
- Marcos's war claims gained traction because he presented purported evidence, misleading students of history.
- Rigorous historical research is critical for historians when selecting pertinent and meaningful sources for their studies.
