FRCS 101 (Hargrave): Find Sources

Primary Sources

Refresh your knowledge of Primary Sources.

Often they are created during the time period which is being studied (correspondence, diaries, newspapers, government documents, art) but they can also be produced later by eyewitnesses or participants (memoirs, oral histories).

(from the Primary Sources Library Guide, written by Mary Jo Fairchild)
