This document defines and provides examples of primary and secondary sources for historians. Primary sources are first-hand accounts or documents from the time period being studied, like newspapers. Secondary sources are books, articles, or documentaries created after the time period that analyze and make arguments about primary sources, like a book about the impact of the New Deal. Some sources can be either primary or secondary depending on how they are used by the historian. The key distinction is whether the source was created during or after the time period being examined.Banned for political content
