The main advantage of primary data is that it provides accurate information. Because primary data is information that is collected at the time of an event, ie from firsthand experience, it can provide [in a historical context] information about social standards at the time, common biases of the time, and overall, a more insightful look at a given event.

∙ 11y agoPersonally speaking, in Historical studies the main advantage of primary data is that you can make your own judgement based on original sources such as documents like the Declaration of Independence or the Australian Constitution rather than just quoting someone else's opinion. History textbooks are full of examples of the latter. How the Library in Ancient Alexandria was destroyed is a case in point.
Making a good judgement using raw data can be difficult , however, because you have to also know more, how the primary data originated, whether it is authentic and how it compares with other contemporary sources, for instance.
