1. Primary Sources
 are immediate, first-hand accounts of a topic, from people who had a direct
connection with it.
 In the study of history as an academic discipline, a primary source is an
artifact, document, diary, manuscript, autobiography, recording, or any
other source of information that was created at the time under study. It
serves as an original source of information about the topic.
 A primary source is a document or record which contains first-hand
information or original data on a topic. Primary sources are often created at
the time of an event, but can also be recorded at a later time (e.g.
memories or interviews). Primary sources provide insights into how people
view their world in a particular time. It is important to evaluate sources for
accuracy, authenticity, bias and usefulness.

 Letters are first-handwritten records of events and

communication between people, so they count as primary
sources.

 Diary is a record with discrete entries arranged by date

reporting on what has happened over the course of a day
or other period. A personal diary may include a person's
experiences, thoughts, and/or feelings, excluding comments
on current events outside the writer's direct experience.

 Photographs are very useful types of primary sources. They

provide a rare glimpse of a particular second in time, which
will never again be repeated. This is especially true for
events that occurred before the development of television
or digital technologies.

 Artifacts can be an important complement to text-based

primary sources because they provide a concrete, tangible
dimension to your evidence. An artifact remains almost
meaningless, however, when taken out of context.
 Interview is essentially a structured conversation where one
participant asks questions, and the other provides answers.
In common parlance, the word "interview" refers to a one-
on-one conversation between an interviewer and an
interviewee. When you conducted the interview yourself
and included it as supporting evidence in your research
paper, then the interview is definitely a primary source.
 Recorded music is generally always regarded as a primary
source. Likewise, sonic art, soundscapes, or any other item
that uses the medium of sound to create artistic expression
can be viewed as this type of primary source

1. Secondary sources
 are works that analyze, assess or interpret an historical event, era, or
phenomenon, generally utilizing primary sources to do so. Secondary sources
often offer a review or a critique. Secondary sources can include books, journal
articles, speeches, reviews, and research reports.

presented elsewhere.
 A Secondary Source is any published or any unpublished work that is once step
removed from the original source (or any event under review). A secondary
source usually describe, summaries, analysis, evaluates interprets of reviews
primary source material.
Note:
Remember authors of secondary sources may use primary sources material
to persuade readers to support their arguments about an event and its
meaning.

relationships, and death; it portrays a person's experience of these
life events.

evaluation of works of literature. Literary criticism is essentially an
opinion, supported by evidence, relating to theme, style, setting or
historical or political context.
