PRIMARY, SECONDARY, AND TERTIARY SOURCES

It is now time to put Sleuthing 101 into practice, noting that it is imperative to continue to peruse acquired source materials as the research project/argumentative essay proceeds forward in order to gather sound evidentiary primary, secondary, and tertiary sources.

Defined: Primary Sources

Primary sources are original materials. They are from the time period involved and have not been filtered

through interpretation or evaluation. Primary sources are original materials on which other research is

based. They are usually the first formal appearance of results in physical, print or electronic format. They

present original thinking, report a discovery, or share new information.

Examples include:

Artifacts (e.g. coins, plant specimens,

fossils, furniture, tools, clothing, all from the time under study);

Audio recordings (e.g. radio programs)

Diaries;

Internet communications on email,

listservs;

Interviews (e.g., oral histories,

telephone, e-mail);

Journal articles published in peer-

reviewed publications;

Letters;

Newspaper articles written at the time;

Original Documents (i.e. birth certificate,

will, marriage license, trial transcript);

Patents;

Photographs

Proceedings of Meetings, conferences

and symposia;

Records of organizations, government

agencies (e.g. annual report, treaty, constitution, government document);

Speeches;

Survey Research (e.g., market surveys,

public opinion polls);

Video recordings (e.g. television

programs);

Works of art, architecture, literature, and

music (e.g., paintings, sculptures, musical scores, buildings, novels, poems).

Web site.

Defined: Secondary Sources

Secondary sources are less easily defined than primary sources. Generally, they are accounts written

after the fact with the benefit of hindsight. They are interpretations and evaluations of primary sources.

Secondary sources are not evidence, but rather commentary on and discussion of evidence. However, what some define as a secondary source, others define as a tertiary source. Context is everything.

Examples include:

Bibliographies (also considered tertiary);

Biographical works;

Commentaries, criticisms;

Dictionaries, Encyclopedias (also

considered tertiary);

Histories;

Journal articles (depending on the

disciple can be primary);

Magazine and newspaper articles (this

distinction varies by discipline);

Monographs, other than fiction and

autobiography;

Textbooks (also considered tertiary);

Web site (also considered primary).

Defined: Tertiary Sources

Tertiary sources consist of information which is a distillation and collection of primary and secondary

sources.

Almanacs;

Bibliographies (also considered

secondary);

Chronologies;

Dictionaries and Encyclopedias (also

considered secondary);

Directories;

Fact books;

Guidebooks;

Indexes, abstracts, bibliographies used

to locate primary and secondary sources;

Manuals;

Textbooks (also be secondary).
