Sourcing involves identifying who created the document, when it was created, and its purpose or argument. Contextualization considers the events happening when the document was made and how those events may have influenced its creation. Corroboration looks at other texts from the same time to see if they support or complicate the document's claims. Close reading examines the creator's choices in making the document.
