I think primary sources are very good because if you want to know about somebody’s life during a war a text book can’t give you that kind of information. You know it’s real and not made up. You get the information first hand. But it’s very hard to find and some times somebody will make a false document. But over all primary sources are very helpful.

Dani's Primary Sorces

Primary sorces are good because you know the information is true. From a primary sorce you can finde out more than in a book from clues/hints, like there personality. They are first acounts of things that have happended in history, along with preasent day. Primary sorces are good for projects, and reports because you can see into the time, place, peoples lifes.

The Benifits of Primary Sources

I think Primary Sources have alot of benifits. One, they can show how some ones personality was along time ago through letters and diary's, you can't get that kind of first hand information from secoundary sources. Two, they provide personal information and Primary sources are hand writtin by a person, so you know that you can trust the information that it gives you. I think we should use primary sources more often if they were easier to get.

Primary Sources

Primary Sources can be very trustworthy and reliable. They are mostly considered to be reliable because they are first-hand written. Primary Sources might be about some one's life or feelings, which you can find in a journal. Or simply about something special they decided to record in either dairy or letter form. Primary Sources are extremely valuable because they are unbelievably hard to find. They can be an immense help in many cases. Salome
