A primary source is an original informational piece that provides firsthand knowledge about something. It typically was created by people who experienced something firsthand or was a bystander in it.

Examples of primary sources include (1) letters, (2) photographs, (3) autobiographies, (4) studies led by researchers, or (5) recorded interviews of people who stood by or experienced an event directly.

Primary sources are a good way of obtaining knowledge and understanding of any particular event and can be used to conclude different ideas based on the provided information.
