Primary sources serve as historical evidence, comprising original records or artifacts crafted by individuals involved in or witnessing historical events, whether contemporaneously or in the aftermath, as seen in memoirs and oral histories. These sources encompass a broad range of materials, including letters, manuscripts, diaries, journals, newspapers, maps, speeches, interviews, government-produced documents, photographs, audio or video recordings, born-digital items like emails, research data, and tangible objects or artifacts such as art, ancient roads, buildings, tools, and weapons.
Others resources may be found on the A-Z list of databases under the subject English.
