Primary Sources

Many primary sources may not exist in their original format. However, generally you can determine if a source is primary based on: when it was created, and who created it. For this course, this also includes translations.

The best place to find primary sources are your secondary sources!

Use their bibliographies to identify useful sources, and reverse search for them. Archival and specific collection names are most effective. Note that many archives will have similar names and verifying location will be important.
