How can a secondary source be reliable?
By quoting or referencing primary sources. For example, in the Bible when Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, or any of the other Disciples talk about Jesus they are primary sources, because they witnessed what they are writing about firsthand. Paul, on the other hand, didn't witness these things firsthand, but is hearing or reading about them from those who did.
Why is it important for a historian to use primary sources?
Primary sources that are thoughtfully selected can help to bring history and cultures to life for students. Most basically, they are defined as the direct evidence of a time and place that you are studying - any material (documents, objects, etc.) that was produced by eyewitnesses to or participants in an event or historical moment under investigation. Primary sources are interesting to read for their own sake: they give us first hand, you-are-there insights into the past. They are also the most important tools an historian has for developing an understanding of an event. Primary sources serve as the evidence an historian uses in developing an interpretation and in building an argument to support that interpretation. You will be using primary sources not only to help you better understand what went on, but also as evidence as you answer questions and develop arguments about the past. Primary Sources do not speak for themselves, they have to be interpreted. That is, we can't always immediately understand what a primary source means, especially if it is from a culture significantly different from our own. It is therefore necessary to try to understand what it means and to figure out what the source can tell us about the past.
