Works that analyze or interpret a historical event, generally using primary sources, are called secondary documentation. Primary sources are the firsthand materials from the time of the event—diaries, letters, official records, photographs. A secondary documentation piece takes those materials and builds analysis around them, offering explanations, context, and interpretation, and is typically produced after the event. The other terms don’t capture this role—external or internal documentation aren’t standard labels for the analytical relationship to the sources, and primary documentation refers to the original, non-analytical materials rather than the interpretive work.
