What are the differences between primary and secondary sources?

Sagot :

While primary sources are the original records created by firsthand witnesses of an event, secondary sources are documents, texts, images, and objects about an event created by someone who typically referenced the primary sources for their information. Textbooks are excellent examples of secondary sources.

Hope this helps!
Have a great day!
Primary sources come from first hand witnesses, so people that were there to see the event. Secondary sources are things that go over the event, so documents, texts, and images.

The difference is that a primary source is from someone who was there and the other is from a form of document that interprets information based on primary sources.
