A listing of historical sources throughout the world

Historical source-something that describes history: an object, an artifact, a book, a document, a photograph, an illustration, an audio recording, film, video or an object.

There are two main types of historical sources: Primary sources and secondary sources

• A primary source is something that originates from the past.
• A secondary source is something that has been made recently about the past.

For Example:

• A Roman coin that was made by the Romans is a Primary Source, but a drawing of a Roman coin made in 2003 would be a secondary source.
• A book written about the Tudors in 1525 would be a Primary Source, but a book written about the Tudors in 1995 would be a secondary source.
