Secondary sources are generally an analysis and interpretation of primary source evidence and artifacts/objects. They may be in the form of books or journal articles. Using secondary sources in your projects can help in the following ways:

• Provide historical, cultural, social and economic context for your place/object
• Identify other secondary and primary sources that you might want to use in your research
• Identify the location of primary sources either in archives, databases, online etc. This can be especially helpful if you do not know where a copy of the original of a source is located
