Primary sources (in history) are things such as documents produced at the time. A secondary source is something written later by a historian.

Good examples of primary source documents are legal notices, letters, diaries, newspapers, maps, flags, important documents, clothes, and even furniture.

An account given by anyone who lived in the colonial period. Everything else is a secondary source.

Think anything written by Franklin, Jefferson, or Hamilton.
