TIP: Primary vs. Secondary Sources From Charleston Library website : [|__http://answers.library.cofc.edu/faq/46619__] A primary source is a document or physical object which was written or created during the time under study. Primary sources enable researchers to get as close as possible to what actually happened during an historical event and or time period. Examples include: A secondary source interprets and analyzes primary sources. These sources are one or more steps removed from the event. Secondary sources may have pictures, quotes or graphics of primary sources in them. Examples include textbooks, magazine articles, histories, criticisms, commentaries, and encyclopedias.
 * ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS (excerpts or translations acceptable): CASE STUDIES, Diaries, speeches, manuscripts, letters, interviews, news film footage, autobiographies, official records
 * CREATIVE WORKS: Poetry, drama, novels, music, art
