It varies a little from subject to subject. A primary source in history, for example, is a document or image produced at (or very soon after) an event, or during the period studied.

In literature, the actual text is the primary source (though there may be disagreement as to the text, as with Shakespeare's plays).

A secondary source is a book about a past event, series of events or period or about a text.
