Secondary sources were published or created by people who did not experience or participate in the events firsthand, and so are at least one step removed from the event. They often provide summaries, background information, or interpretation of primary sources and events.
Examples include: biographies, books, conference proceedings, essays, journal articles (not presenting new research), literary criticism, and radio or television documentaries.
