Primary sources provide first-hand accounts or information on a topic or event. They're created by someone who was present during an experience or time period of an occurrence and offer an insider's view. Raw data (e.g. collected through survey instruments, interviews, ethnographic research) also constitute primary sources. Secondary sources discuss/interpret/analyze such materials.
