Primary versus Secondary Sources
Primary sources connect the historian to the past. They are 'items that are directly associated with their producer or user and the time period in which they were created. Examples include diaries, newspaper articles, government documents, clothing, photographs, oral interviews, and news broadcasts" (Presnell 93, emphasis mine)
Secondary sources are works written by historians that use primary sources as evidence in a particular argument.
