Primary sources may include: letters, manuscripts, diaries, journals, newspapers, speeches, photographs, audio recordings, government documents, and videos. In the arts, primary sources also include original garments, sketches, wigs, etc.
Secondary sources are interpretations or analyses of an event, usually written by scholars after the event occurred.
