A primary source is where the information comes directly from the original copy or someone who experienced it first hand, and where as a secondary source is someone or something that was not there when the event took place- hope this helps!!
A primary sources can be described as those sources that are closest to the event that happened. For example, there was a robbery and there was a bystander the bystander would be considered a primary source. Secondary source examples include textbooks, articles, and reference books.
