In this program, historians examine a selection of primary sources-written, visual, and physical artifacts-with which to consider the impact of the conflict. Among the documents are examples of revoluntionary and counter-revolutionary money and petitions of grievances from 1789, which give a minutely detailed record of the common man's problems. Professor Colin Jones of Warwick University also illustrates how pottery, engravings, and paintings provide details hard to glean from other sources. Many of the selected cultural artifacts highlight the role of women in the revolution.
