An Introduction to Primary and Secondary Sources
Primary Sources
What are primary sources? Original records from the past recorded by people who were: Involved in the event Witnessed the event, OR Knew the persons involved in the event
What are primary sources? They can also be objects (artifacts) or visual evidence. They give you an idea about what people alive at the time saw or thought about the event.
What are primary sources? Keep in mind that a primary source reflects only one point of view and may contain a person’s bias (judgement) toward an event.

Secondary Sources
What are secondary sources? Secondary sources are made at a later time. They include written information by historians or others AFTER an event has taken place.
What are secondary sources? Although they can be useful and reliable, they cannot reflect what people who lived at the time thought or felt about the event. But they can represent a more fair account of the event because they can include more than one point of view, or may include information that was unavailable at the time of the event.
Examples of secondary sources: Textbooks, biographies, histories, newspaper report by someone who was not present
Examples of secondary sources: Charts, graphs, or images created AFTER the time period.
