Primary and Secondary
Sources Review
Primary Sources
Primary sources are documents or other artifacts created by people
present at historical events either as witnesses or participants. Usually,
you can identify a primary source by reading for first-person clues such as
I, we and our. These types of sources are valuable to historians because
they give information about an event or a time period.
Examples
Letters
Court opinions
Diaries
Photographs
Autobiographies
Pottery
Books
Weapons
Speeches
Newspaper stories
Government data (laws)
Pamphlets
Primary and Secondary
Sources Review
Secondary Sources
A secondary source is an account that is produced after a historical
event by people who were not present at the actual event. These people
rely on primary sources in order to write their secondary sources.
Secondary sources often contain summaries and analyses of events and
time periods. Your textbook is a secondary source.
Depending on the sorts of questions we ask, a document that we might
have initially considered to be a secondary source can actually be a
primary source. For example, a history textbook from the mid-1800s is
normally considered to be a secondary source, but if we use that book
to look at the ways in which history was written in the mid-1800s, it
becomes a primary source.

Who Owns History?
Why Think Like a
Historian?
• To better be able to determine what
information is believable.
• To support conclusions and
statements with reliable information.
• To better understand an event or
person in history!
Sourcing
• Before you examine a piece of evidence,
ask yourself:
– Who made this? (Or who wrote it?) Is this
person believable?
– What kind of evidence is it? (Diary entry?
Police report? Newspaper article?)
– Why was it made?
– When was this made? (A long or short time
after the event?
Sourcing
• When analyzing a source, there are
characteristics that make a source
more or less reliable, such as:
– Credibility of the author
– Commitment of author to the
information?

•
Anonymous?
Signed under oath?
Motive for creating document / evidence
Witness or not?
