Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Within this paper, we attempt to grapple with a problem that has long confronted individuals within the social sciences: what do you do with alternative historical accounts of events and what does a comparison across these accounts tell us? To address this problem, we explore an approach where distinct accounts are juxtaposed against one another, trying to gauge the degree to which such a juxtaposition can inform us about what actually took place. Normally individuals either collapse all source information together or they select one source to examine. We feel that it is useful to maintain the integrity of each source and to explore similarities and differences across sources. For our analysis, we employ the use of a dataset that we just completed on the Rwandan genocide across five sources by the cell, commune and province for 100 days. Our analysis presents us with very different interpretations of the genocide; some fit directly with existing convention while others vary quite significantly. While all sources agree that something took place, they vary with regard to exactly who did what to whom and when � largely in line with why they were compiling information in the first place and for whom they were collecting information.
