Primary vs. secondary sources Which is which?

Primary source Primary sources are original materials. They are from the time period involved and have not been filtered through interpretation or evaluation. Primary sources are original materials on which other research is based. They present original thinking, report a discovery, or share new information.

Examples of primary sources Artifacts (e.g. coins, plant specimens, fossils, furniture, tools, clothing, all from the time under study); Audio recordings (e.g. radio programs) Diaries; Letters; Interviews (e.g., oral histories, telephone, e-mail); Speeches; Newspaper articles written at the time; Original Documents (i.e. birth certificate, will, marriage license, trial transcript); Photographs Works of art, architecture, literature, and music (e.g., paintings, sculptures, musical scores, buildings, novels, poems).

Secondary sources Secondary sources are less easily defined than primary sources. Generally, they are accounts written after the fact with the benefit of hindsight. Secondary sources are interpretations and evaluations of primary sources. Secondary sources are not evidence, but rather commentary on and discussion of evidence.

Examples of Secondary sources Biographical works; Commentaries, criticisms; Dictionaries, Encyclopedias (also considered tertiary); Histories; Magazine and newspaper articles Textbooks
