What Does Primary Mean?

Primary literature refers to original texts, which may include various formats--diaries, newspaper articles, or sermons, for example. Search MARQCAT to discover the library's editions of a particular author. The library collections on this page are digital collections of primary works--books and newspapers --mostly from earlier centuries.
