Yes, an eyewitness report is considered a primary source. Primary sources are original documents or firsthand accounts that provide direct evidence or firsthand testimony regarding a particular event, object, person, or work of art. Eyewitness reports convey direct observations and personal experiences and thus serve as valuable primary sources for historical research or analysis.
