How do I find primary sources?

 


Answer

To find primary sources, you can look for particular types of sources based on the subject you are researching.

For instance, if you are researching the Civil War, you can look for first-hand accounts in the form of journal entries.

If you are researching the science of addiction, you may look for original studies conducted and use those as primary resources.
