Sources of history
Question asked by: ernest kw
Asked on: 14 Apr 2010
Primary sources are first hand accounts.
For instance if you saw the coronation of queen elizabeth I and can talk about what you saw, what happened and so on then that is a primary source.
However if instead it was something that you read about in the newspaper and then based on that you wrote a book about it or told someone else, well then that would be a secondary source.
