Need firsthand accounts for your research? Primary sources are original materials like diaries, letters, photographs, speeches, and historical newspapers that were created during the time you’re studying. They let you see events, people, and ideas through the eyes of those who experienced them.
You can explore primary sources in many of our databases, including Colorado Historic Newspapers Collection, Ethnic Diversity Source, History Reference Center, JSTOR, and Points of View Reference Center.
