What is a primary source?

Examples: Original manuscripts, photographs, newspaper, oral histories, documentaries, historic sites, and artifacts are among the numerous and varied "eyewitness accounts" that can provide students with a richer and more descriptive explanation of the past than those found in traditional textbooks.
