  1. Primary VS. Secondary Sources S. White EDTP 600 October 5, 2012

  2. Can you tell which of these images are primary sources? Secondary sources? Both are important when researching historical events and eras. We will explore the differences between these two types of sources and see examples of each:

  3. Primary Sources • Include objects, documents and other material that was written, made, or originated during the time period that is being studied or investigated. • Examples of primary sources can be photographs and artifacts, autobiographies, letters, census records, interviews, original artworks, diary and journal excerpts, pieces of clothing, currency, original documents, etc. Remember! Primary sources are ORIGINAL and CONTEMPORARY

  4. Secondary Sources • Are NOT works that originated during the time period/era being investigated. Secondary sources are materials that draw conclusions, summarize, and review facts and events based off of primary sources. • Examples include published textbooks, journal articles, documentaries, biographies, scientific reviews, and experimental results. Remember! Secondary sources INTERPRET and ANALYZE

  5. Examples Artifacts are PRIMARY SOURCES Educational textbooks, published reviews, and biographies are SECONDARY SOURCES Autobiographies, diaries, certificates and original documents are PRIMARY SOURCES Documentaries, Scientific Reports, and Journals are SECONDARY SOURCES
