Primary Sources - History

Primary Sources are first hand accounts of events. Direct evidence that was created during the actual time period.  This is different than a secondary source which is written at a later time reflecting about the event.  Primary Sources can be in the format of speeches, interviews, images, diaries, manuscripts, newspaper articles written at the time of the actual event, journals, letters, etc.
