Primary sources are the documents or artifacts that are first-hand accounts and that you can use as evidence to support your research. They are often created during the time period that is being studied, but can also be produced later by eyewitnesses or other participants (oral histories, memoirs are examples). You can find primary sources in their original format in an archive or reproduced in a variety of ways in databases, books, or on microfilm. Types of primary sources include: correspondence, diaries, newspapers, government documents, and art.
