Answer:

All the information gathered by the person after the event has happened for example A history textbook is a secondary source.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A secondary source describes, analyzes and tries to make sense from the primary source.
  • These may carry pictures, Graphics or quotes of the primary source.
