Primary research involves things like letters and first hand accounts, i.e. a manuscript collection would be a primary source. A secondary source is something like a book written about the subject.
Ex.
A letter written to Churchill from FDR about the Yalta conference would be a primary source.
A book written about Churchill and FDR and their reactions to Yalta would be a secondary source.

enable's say you've been reading on Christopher Columbus. a first source is a first hand record. it will be something Columbus wrote himself. A secondary source might want to be someone writing about their experience with Columbus. (regular resources, in a lot of circumstances are extra sturdy to envision in my opinion) desire this facilitates. (:

Primary you conduct yourself (ask your classmates), secondary is conducted by others (usually like census statistics)
