Primary vs. Secondary Sources Objective: Students will be able to identify primary and secondary sources.

Primary Sources The original sources of information recorded at the time an event occurred. – First-hand accounts of events – Data collected for scientific studies – Historical documents Image found at: tml

Primary Sources Primary sources can also be written well after events. - memoirs - oral histories Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division Washington, DC

Why use primary sources? To explain how major events are related to each other in time. To think critically and distinguish between fact and opinion. To recognize point of view in print and visual materials.

Why use primary sources? To develop your own conclusions and analyze how historical events affect your life. To recognize failures and successes in the past in order to make better decisions as a citizen. To understand who you are by examining your roots or placing yourself in that time period or situation.

Primary Source Examples Diaries Poetry Interviews Government Documents Autobiographies Peer-reviewed Journal Articles Photographs Artifacts/Ephemera Image taken from: ib/ourdocs/DeclarInd.html

Secondary Sources Information derived (created) from primary sources – Summaries of primary sources – Analyses or interpretations of primary sources

Why use secondary sources? To get expert opinions in order to evaluate what really happened. To gain insight by examining the same event from different perspectives. To form your own opinion. To save time by reading information collected from a number of different sources.

Secondary Source Examples Dictionaries Encyclopedias Articles that review other sources Textbooks Biographies

Secondary Source Example The image on the right shows a snippet of a review of the book Lies My Teacher Told Me. Book reviews are secondary sources. Image taken from: Lay, Suzanne. "Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong." Library Journal (2007): Academic Search Premier. EBSCO. Web. 17 Dec

Both Primary and Secondary sources may have a slant or bias Primary Source Bias Example: John Adams Personal Papers In his personal letters to Thomas Jefferson, John Adams viewed his role in the creation of the Declaration of Independence as central. But, Thomas Jefferson, as the primary author of the document, gets much of the credit in history textbooks. Secondary Source Bias Example: History Textbooks A history textbook is a secondary source. Because there is so much history to cover, much of what is discussed shows the positives and not the negatives. The author of Lies My Teacher Told Me provides less flattering, although factual, portraits of some individuals who have played significant roles in the history of the United States. You need to look at both primary and secondary sources critically to see if they are promoting a particular point of view or showing both sides of an issue. Bias can also show up by what is left out, as much as by what is left in.

Reading Sources Ask these basic questions about every source, no matter how obvious the answer might seem. – Who wrote this? – What does it say? – When was it written? – Where was it written? – Why was it written?

Summing Up It is important to determine the type of information you are looking at. – Primary sources are original sources of information – Secondary sources summarize, analyze, or critique primary sources – Both primary and secondary sources can be good sources of information, but you need to critically evaluate them.
