What methodological strength comes from reading oral history with archives?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Comparison and verification between memory and documentary evidence

Oral history provides memories, experiences and local perspectives, while archives provide documentary evidence. Reading them together allows historians to compare accounts, corroborate evidence and identify differences. Therefore, option A is correct. Colonial archives can be useful, but they are not automatically neutral or absolute truth, so option D is incorrect. Exam tip: use terms such as “comparison” and “corroboration” when discussing source evaluation.
