analysis of historical sources

This is the term that all my uni history books use.
If you look at the references below you'll see how analysis of historical souces refers both to analysis of written materials and artefacts. "Kildegransking" in Norwegian refers only to historical sources and nothing else, so historical is implicit in the Norwegian term.

neutral Even Eifring : The first link didn't work when I tried it, but the second really gives the answer 'analysis of primary sources'.

If you're able to read the chapter title it's "the historian's sources", which are subdivided into primary and secondary sources. Maybe because I'm surrounded by history books in my study (My husband's a Ph.D), I thought that was obvious
