New in the Library

 Primary sources reflect the individual viewpoint of a participant or observer. It constitutes first hand evidence "from" the time... as opposed to "about" the time.

• Examples:

• Diaries, journals, speeches, interviews, letters, memos, manuscripts, memoirs, autobiographies, government documents, and organizations records.
• Books and articles from magazines, journals, and newspapers written at the time about a particular event.
• Photographs, paintings, portraits, and audio and video recordings documenting what happened.
• Surveys and polls and interviews.
• Documents
