which source of information is an example of a primary source?

A primary source is the one that is closest to the original information.  So a letter, written by the actual person, would be the primary source.  The further you get from that original, the less reliable the information becomes.  So a book which REPRINTS the letter is better than a book which just mentions it or paraphrases it.  A TV show about the letter, or the person who wrote it, is even further from the original.  An encyclopaedia article is also far removed from the original.  Take as an example a letter written by a soldier in the Civil War.  That is pretty reliable as a source of information on the War.  But the other sources you've mentioned would not only be further removed, they would also contain other writers' opinions and interpretations of the War.  Hope this helps.

A psychiatrist's case files would generally be considered a primary source, particular in they had important patients.\nOr if the psychiatrist was important in their own right, say Sigmund Freud, his files would be considered primary.\n\nOne of the best ways to judge whether a source is primary or secondary is to ask: Was it contemporaneous? Did it happen at the same time as the event you are studying, or is it an explanation written afterwards. Caveat: newspaper accounts would often be considered primary sources.

Wiki is a great primary resource. Start there, rather than a stodgy government-funded website.
