Primary and Secondary Sources
2
What is a primary source?
A primary source is something created by a person who participated in or saw an event in the past. Artifacts are primary sources. They are objects made in the past by people who used them.
Do you have a primary source at your home?
3
What is a secondary source?
We can also use secondary sources to learn about life in the past. Secondary sources are materials prepared by people who did not participate in or see events for themselves. These people can study a primary source to help them find out information to create their secondary source.
What is a secondary source that you know of?
4
How do they compare?
Historians use primary sources like artifacts to build a picture of life in the past. When they create other documents or objects, like the teepee, totem, or painting in the museum, these become secondary sources. Primary and secondary sources shape our understanding of the past.
