There are two main sources: primary and secondary.

A primary source would be "the document itself" or the testimony of an observer who was present at so-and-so.

A secondary source would be eclectic documentation or testimony based on that of primary sources. For instance, a documentary of WWII would be a secondary source, which cites many primary sources such as interviews with veterans, clips of video or photos from the era, etc.
