It depends, the format of the source is not what makes it primary or secondary, it is the nature of the source itself. Whether is is in a book, on a respectable website, in a magazine, in a journal, or on a bit of paper has no bearing. What matters is who wrote it and when. Regardless of location, the Declaration of Independence is a primary source, as are many diarys. If you read the Magna Carta online, it is still a primary source. But always take extreme caution with internet souces, because you have much less assurance that they have not altered the original document.
