Primary sources are first-hand accounts of an event, topic, or historical time period and are original documents created or experienced contemporaneously with the event being researched.

In other words, Primary Sources contain raw, original, non-interpreted and information.

Visit the Types of Sources area of the Introduction to College Research Guide for examples of primary sources.

Research Librarians can assist you with finding primary sources for your assignment.
