What is a Primary Source?

As I work on the family history, I am trying to get the most accurate information I can. So I want to find the source closest to the event.

Primary (or original) sources would be a birth certificate, marriage license, death certificate or something similar. A secondary (or derivative) source would be from a newspaper article, a book or even a transcription of a record.
