Primary & Secondary Sources
When researching your topic, a distinction between PRIMARY and SECONDARY sources must be considered.
Generally, PRIMARY sources were created at the time of an historical event, or by a participant in that event. Primary sources represent a "window in time", and can most closely convey historical events. Examples include:
- Diary entries
- Personal narratives
- photographs
SECONDARY sources are derived from the works already written, recorded or published. Most history books are SECONDARY sources, relying on previously written accounts.
