Question 13 • FL-2109010-M/J World History A - Teacher Directed Resource

How can historians use objects and documents in a museum to develop ideas about the past?

Answer

They can read accounts of past events from the people who lived during that time.

They can look at photographs in exhibits and guess what might have happened next.

They can study tools that were used during the past to learn how to make ones just like them.

They can look at displays of ancient villages to recommend how land should be used today.

Explanation

Historians use documents such as letters, diaries, and records to learn what people who lived in the past experienced and thought. These firsthand accounts can help them develop ideas about past events. Guessing what happened next from photographs or recommending modern land use does not directly provide historical evidence.
