Below is a video on primary and secondary sources and a list of sites you might use to find primary sources for research or for your assignments and projects. If you have any questions, please let me know!
Primary Sources are first-hand evidence that is related to the time or event that someone is researching. This includes detailed accounts from participants or observers of the event (those who were there at the time of the event). Primary sources also include written, physical, audio, or visual materials that were created at that time by someone with direct experience (https://libguides.calstatela.edu/c.php?g=767223&p=5504356).
