    sources, which studied historical
    subject.
    • Secondary source interprets and analyzes
    primary sources. These sources are one or
    more steps removed from the event.
    • Secondary sources may have pictures,
    quotes, or graphics of primary sources in
    them.
    • E.g., History textbook, printed
    materials (serials, periodicals, which
    interprets previous research)
    • When evaluating primary or secondary sources, the
    following questions might be asked to help ascertain
    the nature and value of material being considered:
    • How does the author know these details
    (names, dates, and times)?
    • Was the author present at the event or
    soon on the scene?
    • Where does this information come from –
    personal experience, eyewitness accounts,
    or reports written by others?
    • When evaluating primary or secondary sources, the
    following questions might be asked to help ascertain
    the nature and value of material being considered:
    • Are the author’s conclusion based on a
    single piece of evidence, or have many
    sources been taken into account (e.g.,
    diary entries, along with third-party
    eyewitness accounts, impressions of
    contemporaries, newspaper accounts)?
    • Are primary sources
    always unbiased and
    accurate?
    • If someone in the future wanted to study
    who were and what your life was like,
    what primary and/or secondary sources
    might they turn to?
