Answer 3

Primary sources provide firsthand evidence gathered by the author(s). They may be created or documented at the time of an event, as in scholarly research articles, diaries, photographs, conference proceedings, and newspaper reports. A primary source may also be documented at a later time, such as autobiographies, memoirs, and oral histories...but these are still firsthand accounts.
