A primary sources are original, first-hand records of a particular culture, event, or time period. These first-hand records can be contrasted with secondary sources (including many academic articles and books), which provide analysis or interpretation of primary source materials.
Primary sources include historical texts, inscriptions, artifacts, contemporary buildings, etc.
You can find many primary source materials via Library Search. Primary sources can also be found in Rose Library.
For more detailed information, see the Primary Sources Research Guide.
Most of the Emory libraries use the Library of Congress classification system of letters and numbers to group materials by subject. These call numbers are listed in Library Search and marked on each book. Use our call number guide to find out which floor of the library has the book you need.
