Topic/purpose (consider Gagne's 5 outcome types)

Primary sources provide a “window into the past”—access to the record of thought and achievement throughout history, produced by people who lived during that period.

Bringing students into close contact with these important, often profound, documents and objects can give them an unfiltered sense of significant events, ideas, and what it was like to be alive during various time periods throughout history.
