Primary sources are direct, firsthand accounts created by individuals who experienced an event, such as letters and diaries, while secondary sources are interpretations or analyses written by those who did not experience the event, including textbooks and documentaries. Examples of primary sources include a soldier's diary from World War I and a photograph from a civil rights protest. In contrast, a history textbook about World War II is considered a secondary source.
