Answer:

Simply described, a secondary data is a text or a video that presents or addresses material that was initially published elsewhere. These sources are of great help to historians as These are composed sometimes after historic incident by those who have not witnessed the action. Documents and artwork collected through primary texts and occurring after an occurrence are instances of supplementary sources. Oral memory is also another resource that historians use.
