Primary and Secondary Sources

Primary sources provide firsthand testimony or direct evidence concerning a topic under investigation. They are created by witnesses or recorders who experienced the events or conditions being documented. Often these sources are created at the time when the events or conditions are occurring. Primary Sources Definition

Secondary sources are materials that interpret, assign value to, conjecture upon, and draw conclusions about the events reported in primary sources. Secondary Sources Definition

Are primary sources more reliable sources? Why or why not?

Consider the Following... Imagine you are the principal of a school and you just found out that there was a fight in the lunchroom during lunch. You’ve asked many students and teachers who witnessed the fight to write down what they saw and who they think started the fight. Unfortunately, you have received many conflicting accounts about who started the fight, who was involved, and when the fight started. NO ONE is just plain lying.

If no one is “plain lying” in the previous scenario, why might their stories be different? How does this story connect to our look at primary vs. secondary sources? What does this story say about the study of history? Consider the Following:

Historical Question: Why were Japanese Americans put in internment camps during WWII? o Source 1: Government film explaining internment in o Source 2: Government report on Japanese internment from 1982 based on declassified government documents. Evaluating the Reliability of Sources

Historical Question: What was the layout of the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz? o Source 1: Interview with 80 year old Holocaust survivor in o Source 2: Map of concentration camp found in Nazi files? Evaluating the Reliability of Sources
