Primary and Secondary Sources Comparison


A primary source is a story of an events witnessed by a bystander, victim or witness. It may also be an event written by the person who witnessed it or experienced it, such as: a diary, an autobiography, personal essays, editorials or speeches. A secondary source is a magazine article, newspaper articles, encyclopedias, or textbooks. A secondary source is written by someone who did not take part in the events they have begun writing about. One thing that both primary and secondary sources have in common is that they are sources and they both help talk about events and solve or discuss them. Those are also a couple of reasons as to why primary and secondary sources are helpful.
