All the material which has a direct bearing or can be any assistance in constructing the history of a particular period are called as historical facts or sources.

The historical sources can be of two types, i.e. Primary and Secondary Sources. A primary source is the evidence of an eye witness or mechanical device which was present at the time of the occurrence of an event.

It is the work of the historian to convert the scattered difficult primary evidences into coherent, intelligible secondary sources.

The secondary source is the evidence of someone who was not present at the time of occurrence of the event e.g., books written by historians. The secondary source is also of great historical importance to the historians. Although secondary source is itself dependent on primary sources.

A primary source may contain secondary information e.g., news papers are usually considered primary sources but the information provided by news paper is not all based on primary sources. Such as certain incidents reported by the paper may be such which the correspondent saw or in he actually took part while certain offer information may be based on official information or sources considered reliable.
