What is a primary and secondary source?

A primary resource is something that comes directly from a person such as a letter or recollection of a first-hand account. Archives.gov/education/research/primary-sources

A secondary resource is something that is not written by the primary source or is a first-hand account of an event. For example: A biography is a secondary resource, because it was written about a person and not written directly by that person.

Examples of primary resources:

A letter written from a specific person

An autobiography (written by the subject)

A first-hand account

An original speech

An originally signed document

A journal

Examples of secondary resources:

A biography (written about the subject)

A newspaper article (unless the writer experienced the event too).

Scholarly books

Anything that was written about an event or person, but not written by the subject.
