Mark each item as a primary or secondary source. Please help!

The diary of a pioneer woman

A letter from James Oglethorpe to other trustees

An article by a professor on life in early Georgia

A magazine interview with celebrity

A newspaper article reporting the findings of a scientific study



Answer :

A diary is a primary source because it come from the person who experienced it.

A letter is written by the person firsthand, so primary.

Unless the professor did the research himself, it would be secondary.

An interview is primary.

A newspaper article is REPORTING the findings, so it’s secondary,

Hope this helps!
