A primary text is a text where the source was personal or direct. For example, a primary text would be an anecdote or autobiography. Quoting a speech directly, or describing an experience that the writer experienced THEMSELF would also be classified as a primary text. A secondary text ideally makes reference to a primary text. A history textbook may directly relay events in history (primary text), but a project based on the readings of this textbook would be a secondary text. Going even further, an essay based on the project, based on the textbook, based on actual events in history should be classified as perhaps a "tertiary" text. However, it is simply termed "secondary". A secondary text is any text that is not directly from the source.
