4. Types of Source 1 2 Primary Source is original work such as firsthand reports of experiments, observations, or other research projects; field research you carry out yourself; and documents like letters, diaries, novels, poems, short stories, autobiographies, and journals. Secondary Sources are like reports, describes, comments on, or analyzes someone else’s work. This information comes to you secondhand. That is, someone other than the primary source relays the information, adding a layer between you and the original material. Suhaeni Azis
