Primary Sources
A "primary source" is any uninterpreted source of information. Examples include:
First-person accounts (oral histories, diaries, memoirs)
Documents (maps, treaties, laws or legal arguments)
Physical artifacts (which reflect the period in which they were made and used)
Scientific data which has been collected but not interpreted (census data, population statistics, weather records, production/manufacturing systems data, air quality measures, animal migration patterns, etc.)
Face-to-face or on-line mentors who possess specific kknowledge or expertise.
