Types of Sources

Different types of sources When we want to study history to find out what happened and how people feel about it, we consult sources to help us (the historian) put the story together. There are two different classifications for sources: Secondary Primary

Classification of Sources Primary Original source This source was an eyewitness to the event we are studying This source experienced the event in some way Source doesn’t have to be a person but can also be physical items. Secondary Written or created by someone who is retelling the story of what happened. The source wasn’t present at the experience or event being studied. The source is filtering the information to the reader/viewer.

Examples always depend on what you are studying! Primary Source examples: Letters, interviews, photographs, diaries, newspapers, video clips of the event, posters, songs, clothing Example: If I am studying the Civil War, some primary sources might include: Diaries Uniforms Weapons Maps Photographs Songs Interviews done after the war Speeches

Examples of Secondary Sources Also depend on what you are studying Can include: History textbooks Books Websites TV shows on the History Channel Documentaries If I was studying the Civil War and wanted to look at secondary sources I might look at: Articles by scholars and historians Books Interviews with historians
