Secondary sources are made at a later time.
They include written information by historians or others AFTER an event has taken place.

20. 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.

21. Examples of secondary sources:
Textbooks, biographies, histories, newspaper report by someone who was not present
