Esperanto in Scotland, Chapter 1, Exercise 3 Sample answer: three of the kinds of source named in the chapter. 1. Letters and postcards (John Beveridge Collection) Made by: the people who took part, writing to each other. Why: to keep in touch and share news, not to write history. Trust: good evidence of friendships and attitudes, but only for the people whose papers survive. 2. Scottish newspapers (Dundee Advertiser, Courier, Evening Telegraph) Made by: journalists and club secretaries sending in reports. Why: to announce meetings and report events, often to encourage people to join. Trust: useful for dates and names; membership figures and descriptions of success may be promotional. 3. Esperanto periodicals (The British Esperantist, La Revuo) Made by: movement editors and correspondents. Why: to inform and encourage members. Trust: good for how the movement saw itself; check figures against another source. A good answer gives, for each source, who made it, why, and one limit.
