Historical documents and sources of all kinds whether primary, or secondary are a gateway to knowledge. They allow us as students, and the entire world today to catch a glimpse of what life was like beforehand-that being said a lot of what we hear and see today is left to our own interpretation, which is what alters most of history. The internet along with numerous other resources combined are  vital keys to the past not being forgotten, however it is what and how we choose to remember what we read and see that truly proves how effective such resources are.
