FAQ Answer

Answer

A secondary source is a source that analyzes or interprets a primary source.  A primary source can be an original object or document such as diary or photograph, an eyewitness account, or raw data.  Secondary sources can include:

  • Scholarly articles

If you have a research assignment that requires secondary sources, be sure to check with your professor to be certain that you are using the correct sources of information.
