Carraway, Gertrude S. “HISTORY IS AN IMPORTANT PRODUCT.” The
North Carolina Historical Review, vol. 35, no. 2, 1958, pp. 182-90.
JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/23517054

1. Gertrude S. Carraway was the first director of the Tryon Palace
Restoration in New Bern, North Carolina. She was also a member
of the Executive Board of the Department of Archives and History
at this same facility. Carraway was also heavily involved with the
Daughters of the American Revolution. Due to these
accreditations, she is a credible and reliable source because she is
respected within the community of historical preservation and
historical societies. Gertrude S. Carraway was the first director of

2. This is a non-scholarly source because it is published by the North
Carolina Office of Archives and History, which is a government
source. There is a possibility that this article could present bias,
therefore it is non-scholarly.

3. This excerpt focuses mainly on American history and local
histories. Carraway argues that there is a “…want to understand
the firm foundations laid by our predecessors. This gives us an
assurance of permanence and continuity.” In understanding the
past, there is a better comprehension of today, and yet an even
better capacity of how to prepare for tomorrow. Carraway
believes the universal statement, “History repeats itself” as she
wrote in this piece. If society can learn from past mistakes, then
we can become an enlightened people. Carraway also touches
upon history as a commercial product. She states that in 1850 the
first historic house museum opened in the United States. She
continues to talk of historic sites and other goods inspired by
history. Carraway believes that “History is an important product
that should be cultivated and harvested in the present as well as
planted and nurtured for the future.”

4. This excerpt will give my paper perspective since it is from a
different time period. Even though this article was written in 1958,
I do not see it as an outdated source, rather an opinion captured
on my same topic in time. It will also be interesting to perhaps
track public perception of history throughout time and explore
history as being a product that can be sold to people.
