documentaries and literature,
textbooks are murder

All sources, especially older literature found in libraries. Unbiased, say-it-like-it-is information.

when it comes to clothing and faces, i prefer books... but if i'm lazy, internet.

I use my text book, documentaries and the internet.
I'm really interested in history, just so lazy.

depending on the purpose of my reserach i would focus on documents, newspapers, or literature, etc.

I do most of my research online, but sometimes I will pick up a book if I'm interested in the subject enough. And now that I am at a university, I have access to such a wonderful resource - the university library. Whenever I have free time between classes, I go straight to the library and to the world history section if it's not out of my way.

I actually really like history but am not really such a fan of studying it (requires too much remembering, bad memory here, I'm better at logic orientated stuff) I just like to listen to lectures and ppl's tales.

I'll go with anything, really. I definitely have nothing against textbooks. I admit I developed a bit of a love affair with my history textbook last year. That being said, I usually just go for whatever book catches my eye. I'm not too picky about what I read, although I have a bit of a love for non-fiction. I'm currently reading about medicine of the pioneers. You know, phlebotomy, all that crazy stuff. It's big fun. Documentaries are too. It pains me not to have the History Channel, because they have a lot of fun stuff.

I like documentaries from the people who were there, or the people themselves (like reading Mein Kampf)

historiography XD
