Telling the difference between Primary and Secondary Source Documents Remember Primary sources are letters, journals, diaries, presentations, interviews. Surveys, questionnaires, observations and participations. Secondary Resources-they are not personal and include biography, editorial, literary critisism and newspaper reports.
