The article focuses on the operational nature of the concept of «historical source» and related features of the source study of the Postmodern era: changing priorities for historians toward the source, transforming «traditional» sources and the emergence of new types of sources, folding source studies of historiography and other system historical disciplines. An example of such transformations is the transformation of the historical context (extrinsic knowledge in classical source study) into a source form.
