Answer:

Secondary sources are the ones which are created by the persons who didn't experience first hand, the event which you are researching. In historical research, scholarly books and articles are secondary sources. The secondary sources interpret and analyze primary sources. Journal articles, commentaries, criticisms, and encyclopedias are also considered as secondary sources.
