Primary Sources and Secondary Sources Primary sources are firsthand accounts. They provide direct or original evidence from that time in history. They are the basis of historical writing and the foundation or raw material of the historian. Examples are autobiographies, letters, maps, diaries, poems, memoirs, oral histories, advertisements, sermons, eulogies, treaties, laws, regulations, licenses, documents, and records —both official and non official. These can be visual such as films, paintings, artwork, photographs and other types of art. They represent the culture of which they were created. These sources show the concerns, customs, styles, work, dress, play, lifestyles of specific times in history. Secondary sources are second hand accounts. They come from someone else other than an original source. Books – are usually secondary sources. They typically use primary sources to develop the information. Books and magazine or newspaper articles are secondary sources; however they can be used by historians to show the interests, perspectives, culture and values of the time in which they were written. This website from Princeton University has a brief but informative summary of the topic: https://www.princeton.edu/~refdesk/primary2.html Questions to ask a primary sourceWhat was the creator’s purpose? What was the creator’s perspective? What is the historic context in which it was created? Was it to be public or private as a document or written work? Do other sources give the same information or perspective? Who was the audience? Do you find any bias? Questions to ask a secondary sourceWho wrote it and what was the author’s purpose in writing it Are the arguments or interpretation persuasive? Is there evidence to back the author’s interpretation? Does the author rely on primary sources? What is the perspective of the author? Do you find bias?
