    Sources are artifacts that provide information about history, including documents, pictures, recordings, books, films, television programs, and objects. Primary sources are first-hand information like pictures, records, diaries, and interviews that can be understood on their own terms from direct investigation, while secondary sources are second-hand information like textbooks, magazines, and dictionaries that comment on and reference the past in a less reliable manner.
