Signatories or Parties

This dimension names the parties that actually signed or issued a historical document. Wikipedia notes that a primary source can be "a document written by" a person with "direct knowledge of a situation," a person or party whose name is often attached directly to the document itself. Browsing this way collects every document carrying the same signatory.
