a primary is the first person pov as in a artifact, document, diary, manuscript, autobiography, recording, or any other source of information that was created at the time under study.

In contrast, a secondary source of information is one that was created later by someone who did not experience first-hand or participate in the events or conditions you're researching. For the purposes of a historical research project, secondary sources are generally scholarly books and articles.
