What are primary sources?

Primary sources are first-hand accounts of an event. Primary sources are wide-ranging and include newspaper articles (from the time period that an event took place), letters, diaries, interviews, laws, reports of government commissions, and many other types of documents.

Duke University Libraries has a wealth of primary source databases as well as special collections manuscript materials housed in the Rubenstein Library. The Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History & Culture, housed in the Rubenstein Library, acquires and preserves published and unpublished materials that reflect the public and private lives of women throughout history. The Hartman Center for Sales, Advertising & Marketing History collections promote understanding of the social, cultural and historical impact of advertising, marketing and sales.
