Detailed Solution

Official documents, newspapers and magazines are secondary sources of history.
Secondary sources of history are the conclusions historians and scholars draw after carefully examining and studying the original source, such as official records, newspapers, magazines, periodicals, and original documents. The secondary sources of history give us important knowledge on well-known individuals as well as current societies and policies. A secondary source contrasts with a primary source. In a secondary source, the original data is picked out, changed, and formatted appropriately. Generalisation, analysis, interpretation, or evaluation of the original data are all aspects of secondary sources.
