Finding Primary Sources

Primary sources are documents and other artifacts related to the topic being studied.

Personal diaries, letters, and photographs are just a few examples of primary sources you might find useful. 

There are many published compilations of primary sources in the library collection. The fact that these have been reproduced from their original form and published does not take away from their usefulness as primary sources. You can find these compilations under a variety of subject subheadings:

Remember to add your specific topic to narrow the results more precisely. You might also like to try a combined Primary Sources search to include all of these source types in one list of results.
