Primary sources provide a firsthand account from a particular time period. These are original documents written by people who witnessed an event or lived in the same time. Good examples of primary resources include letters, diaries, court records, photographs, and interviews.

Examples of secondary sources include dictionaries, encyclopedias, books, and journal articles.
