it is the opposite of primary evidence

the difference is that Primary evidence is took from that moment and secondary is a piece of evidence found from the past.

Primary evidence means original copy of evidence and secondary evidence is true copy of evidence.

Try the British Museum. I saw his death mask there and bet they have primary evidence from him.

Primary evidence consists of items that can be measured directly. If temperature readings are taken in the middle of a city for years and they keep increasing, that is primary evidence that the temperature is increasing in that city. If recent pictures taken of ice in Antarctica, Greenland, and the Himalayas are compared with those taken a century ago, they show the glaciers have decreased in size. That is primary evidence glaciers are shrinking. Any direct measurement is primary evidence.
