A primary source provides direct or firsthand evidence about an event, object, person, or work of art. Primary sources include historical and legal documents, eyewitness accounts, results of experiments, statistical data, pieces of creative writing, audio and video recordings, speeches, and art objects.

Hope this helps.

The Primary source is the main source , it's where all the data comes from. The secondary source is similar because you can get the same information, but it isn't the main source.
