Primary sources in research

Primary sources are documents created by the events themselves. Examples include: archival records ( governmental, commercial, ecclesiastical), letters and memorandums, speeches, and reports and statements of official bodies. They are also documents produced to record events immediately: chronicles, diaries, journalists' reports and interviews, drawings and photographs, motion picture film, tape recordings and videotape.

Book, Journal Articles and websites are all good places to start for finding primary sources on your topic.
