These worksheets are deigned to be generic, so you can change the questions given as examples, to suit the pictures you are using. The worksheets cover analysis, interpretation, concepts and comprehending the information in pictures. Pictures are valuable primary resources which can reveal information about the people, places, and events of the past. Using pictures in the classroom is a way to bring history to life pictorially.

When using pictures as documentary evidence, it is important to remember that pictures can be altered. Also, the picture may only represent a particular point of view. When using pictures for research, don't draw conclusions from just one print. Further sources must be utilised, such as historical records, other photos, or books.
