Primary sources, secondary sources, and oral history.
Answer this question… Primary sources are created by people who actually experienced the event
it is the opposite of primary evidence
A primary source is a person (or a record produced by a person) who was actually there, as a witness or a participant of the event in question. A secondary source is someone who obtained information from a primary source and who then wrote or spoke about it. Primary sources are the more authoritative, however they are not always available, and sometimes you have to settle for lesser sources.
You would consult a primary source for a first and personal view of an historical event. Primary sources are original materials.
