What is a Traditional Source?

A traditional source is typically defined as a source of information which has been written or printed (magazines, pamphlets, books, diaries, encyclopaedias for example). In the digital age, these sources of information are often marked with historical relevance. At Endeavour College we define a traditional source as a historical text published in a traditional format which is the product of more than 75 years of reputable use.
