The Evidence Analysis Process Map lays it out in a tidy graphic on EEs flyleaf. Fig. 1, in this lesson, gives the newly expanded version. So how does this mantra fit into our daily work Is it just an esoteric theory for eggheads Is it jargon we can handily throw around if we want to impress teachers, students, or clients Is it a formula we follow if we want certification in a research fieldOr an easy way to eliminate all the angst involved in evidence analysis EE hopes you answered None of the above. Using the Evidence Analysis Process Map is akin to using the structure of our native language. As youth, we learned the parts of speech that serve as a framework for communication nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, prepositions, conjunctions, etc. Once we learned those labels, we did not start hanging them on every word we uttered. Yet the extent to which we understand those basic parts of speech will have determined how successfully we communicate. So it is with historical research and analysis. When we report our findings and conclusions, we do not artificially peg labels onto every fact or assertion we make. Nonetheless, the extent to which we understand the language and structure of evidence analysis will determine the success of our research. Quick. Lesson 1. 7 will give you that foundation. THREE ANALYTICAL ELEMENTSSOURCES, INFORMATION EVIDENCESources. This analytical element comes in many formats. Sources may be documents or books, artifacts or websites, databases or people, but they will still fall into one of three basic classes Original Records documents that represent the origin of a tangible sourcethe first time it was written or the first recorded utterance. In our digital era, the concept of original record also extends to high quality images of those originals. Derivative Records materials that offer alternate versions of the originaltypically transcripts, translations, abstracts, extracts, nutshells, indexes, and database entries. The best derivatives will preserve all the essential details of the original. Still, errors are frequent. Authored Narratives hybrid works. Authors of historical narratives will study many sources and synthesize findings. From that study, they reach conclusions and then develop a totally new piece of writing. Because the core information comes from other materials, much of an authored work is derivative. However, an authors conclusions and narrative will or should form a new, original, creation.

Primary informants tell us about events or circumstances they were personally involved in or witnessed. They might provide that information at or about the time the event occurred or at a later date. A time lapse might affect the quality of the recollection, but it does not alter the primary nature of the information. Secondary information that is, information based on secondhand knowledge. Sources that repeat hearsay, tradition, or lore do not speak from personal knowledge or personal involvement. They merely pass on what others say. Undetermined or unknown involvement. Many sourcesmost census records, for exampledo not provide sufficient information to identify an informant or discern whether that person spoke from firsthand or secondhand knowledge. Without that identification, the quality of our information remains undetermined. Evidence. Evidence is our interpretation of information that we consider relevant to a particular research question. It also exists in three basic classes. Direct Evidence information that obviously addresses the question in one way or another. It may not give us as complete an answer as we would like. Realistically, evidence seldom tells us everything we want to know about an issue. If it did, it would still be suspect The evidence may require us to make a calculation, a correlation, or a conversion of some type but if it addressesin some wayissues involved in our research question, it is direct evidence. Indirect Evidence information that does not directly address our question, although our experience suggests a way to use the information to discover direct evidence or to help build a case. Indirect evidence is seldom obvious and often missed. Negative Evidence Conclusions or implications that can be drawn from the absence of a situation that should exist given the circumstances. Caution negative evidence is not the same as negative findings. Merely not finding what we hope to find is a routine matter in historical research and one that thoroughness often resolves. Negative evidence, on the other hand, remains negative evidence no matter how much more we find. Negative evidence requires us to understand and consider the implications of what should have occurred under a specific set of circumstancesas with Sherlock Holmess famous observation about the sound of the dog not barking amid a burglary.

It is a step we repeat over and again, as research progresses. Conclusions, on the other hand, must be based on the whole body of evidence that we assemble. In the evaluation stage, which we should also repeat each time we make new findings, we weighthe quality of each source against the other the credibility of each piece of information against the other andthe strength of each piece of evidence against the other. We correlate details. We compare and contrast them in a search for patterns, dissimilarities, or conflicts that could strengthen or weaken a conclusion. If we have multiple pieces of evidence pointing to a conclusion, we consider whether each piece of underlying information is independently createdor whether all might be tracked back to a common source. It is also at this point, if we are genealogists, that we apply the Genealogical Proof Standard3 to measure the strength of any hypothesis we might be forming. THEORY v. PRACTICEWhether we understand the parts of a theory is tested by applying that theory to our everyday work. Lets look at an actual research problem and see how the structure of the Evidence Analysis Process Map can help us interpret the strength of our evidence. CASE AT POINTEgyptian Settlers in Colonial America Item 1 On 1. April 1. Alexandria, Louisiana, published a curious bit of filler We learn from the Marshall that took the census of the Parish, that it was originally settled by Egyptians and French. They made their settlement some time in the year 1. For a city named Alexandria to claim founding by Egyptians is a neat tale, but all historical researchers know how often this kind of lore withers away under the historical microscope. The discovery of a stray Egyptian sailor in New Orleans, or any other colonial American seaport, would hardly raise an eyebrow. The suggestion that a group of Egyptians carved out an agricultural settlement in the interior of the colony begs disbelief.
