Primary Sources and Secondary Sources
When writing history, historians ask themselves five W’s:• What happened?• When and where did it happen?• Who was involved?• Why did it happen?
To find answers, they look for primary sources. These sources are first-hand, or eyewitness, accounts of the event. They also seek out secondary sources, or second-hand records of what happened.
