A primary source of information for school work at any grade level include ones that were first written, NOT quoted in another source. Therefore, a "primary source" may become a "secondary source" if the primary quotes someone, and that exact quote is what you are citing in your work.
Types of sources that could be considered "primary sources" include:
- A government record made at the time of an event, for example, a World War II draft registration card; a birth register; a Social Security application.
- A history book
- A text book if quoting the author
- A magazine article if quoting the author
- Some internet sources, such as if quoting from a professional journal such as the journal "Family Physician"
If you find a quote in a book, newspaper, magazine, you need to go to the original version if in print.
