Documentary Sources:
Primary and secondary sources
Primary sources provide a first-hand account of an event or
time period and are considered to be authoritative. They represent original
thinking, reports on discoveries or events, or they can share new information.
Often these sources are created at the time the events occurred but they can
also include sources that are created later. They are usually the first formal
appearance of original research.
Secondary sources involve analysis, synthesis,
interpretation, or evaluation of primary sources. They often attempt to
describe or explain primary sources.
Scholarly journals, although generally considered to be
secondary sources, often contain articles on very specific subjects and may be
the primary source of information on new developments.
Primary and secondary categories are often not fixed and
depend on the study or research you are undertaking. For example, newspaper
editorial/opinion pieces can be both primary and secondary. If exploring how an
event affected people at a certain time, this type of source would be
considered a primary source. If exploring the event, then the opinion piece
would be responding to the event and therefore is considered to be a secondary
source.
Primary sources
Examples of primary resources include:
diaries, correspondence, ships' logs
original documents e.g. birth certificates, trial
transcripts
biographies, autobiographies, manuscripts
interviews, speeches, oral histories
case law, legislation, regulations, constitutions
government documents, statistical data, research reports
a journal article reporting NEW research or findings
creative art works, literature
newspaper advertisements and reportage and editorial/opinion
pieces
Primary sources can be found using:
Library collection
Primary sources for history subject guide
Secondary sources
Secondary sources offer an analysis, interpretation or a
restatement of primary sources and are considered to be persuasive. They often
involve generalisation, synthesis, interpretation, commentary or evaluation in
an attempt to convince the reader of the creator's argument. They often attempt
to describe or explain primary sources.
Examples of secondary sources include:
journal articles that comment on or analyse research
textbooks
dictionaries and encyclopaedias
books that interpret, analyse
political commentary
biographies
dissertations
newspaper editorial/opinion pieces
criticism of literature, art works or music
