    Primary sources are firsthand accounts or artifacts created during the time period being studied, such as documents, diaries, manuscripts, recordings, and works of art. They provide original information about a topic without interpretation from later sources. Primary sources are distinguished from other sources by the direct information they offer from their creation at the time, rather than the format. Examples include journals, speeches, interviews, research papers, and photographs.

    PRIMARY SOURCES

    Concept
    Primary sources are typically regarded as firsthand information or data generated
    by witnesses or participants in previous events. Primary sources are distinguished not
    by their format, but by the information they provide and their relevance to the research
    subject.

    Definition
    In the study of history as an academic discipline, a primary source (also called
    original source or evidence) is an artifact, document, diary, manuscript, autobiography,
    recording, or other source of information that was created at the time under study. It
    serves as an original source of information about the topic.

    Example
    • Original documents, such as journals, speeches, manuscripts, letters, interviews,
    records, eyewitness reports, and autobiographies
    • Scholarly empirical works such as research papers, clinical reports, case studies,
    and dissertations
    • Works of art such as poetry, music, video, and photography
