Learn the skill

Records of the past can include writing, pictures and objects. Identify the form described here. A form alone does not guarantee a true story; we still need to ask who made it and why. All examples are invented.

Worked example

A handwritten shopping list is a written record. A drawing of a market is a picture; both need context.

Three schematic record forms: a page of writing, a landscape picture and an unmarked object. Form alone cannot establish accuracy; ask about creator, date, audience and purpose.
