What is a primary source?
Primary sources may be letters, manuscripts, newspapers, clothing, pottery,
recorded sound or other items that offer original evidence of a
civilization, a person, an event or a place. Since a single primary
source reflects one point of view, consulting various sources is necessary
in an attempt to understand different perspectives and distinguish between
historical fact and fiction.
Using Primary Sources on the Web
