"A primary source is a document that was created at the time of the event or subject you've chosen to study, or by people who were observers of, or participants in that event or topic."
~ E.H. Brown, “Writing about History” UofT Writing Advice
Primary source materials include Text (film reviews, advertisements, business documents, personal records or diaries, press kits, scripts), Recordings (interviews, radio shows, film footage) & Objects (images, storyboards, costumes, musical scores) created in that time period.
