Secondary Sources get their information from Primary Sources which allows them both to get information they were both seeking for. Primary Sources find their information first hand. An example of Primary source would be a diary, letters, personal essays, speeches, editorials etc. Secondary sources are is second hand information. Examples of secondary sources would be history books, reference books, biographies, encyclopedias, magazine articles etc. Primary and secondary sources are useful because it is based on several different view points, it can give you a broad view, and it contains facts.
