Primary and Secondary Sources

Primary Sources “Primary sources are original records created at the time historical events occurred or well after events in the form of memoirs and oral histories.” Source: American Library Association, Reference and User Services Association http://www.ala.org/rusa/sections/history/resources/pubs/usingprimarysources#evaluating

Examples of Primary Sources Letters Manuscripts Diaries Journals Memoirs Autobiographies Oral histories Interviews Speeches Newspapers* Government documents Photographs* Maps* Video footage of event* Audio recordings Research data Objects or artifacts * Usually, but not always, will be a primary source

Secondary Sources “A secondary source provides ‘second- hand’ information that has been digested, analyzed, reworded or interpreted, and often combines information taken from primary sources and even other secondary sources. Secondary sources are often written well after the events they report on, and can put past information into its historical context.” Source: Windward Community College Library, Hawaii http://library.wcc.hawaii.edu/LRU/evaluating/primarysecondary.html

Examples of Secondary Sources Books with endnotes and footnotes Biographies Reprints of artwork A journal/magazine article which interprets or reviews previous findings  Conference proceedings Literary criticism Book reviews Most works incorporating primary sources
