<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Primary Sources
====<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">On this page are primary sources on voyages of discovery that can be found on the web. Primary sources are the texts the travellers themselves wrote on their voyages. Of course these sources are of utmost importance when studying the history of exploration. There is also a part on [|secondary sources], that is, sources that were written by others than the voyagers themselves, either based on information directly from the voyagers themselves, or on primary sources, which in some cases might be lost afterwards. ====
