What's a SEMINAL DOCUMENT?
Sometimes these are called primary sources because they are first-hand accounts of events, original source materials. Seminal means "seed," and works like these are at the core of understanding your topic, information from which everything that came after sprouts. Think letters, speeches, diaries, and interviews with people who were present at key events or instrumental in major work in this field. A Supreme Court decision or piece of legislation can also be seminal or primary.
For example, scroll down to "Seminal Documents of the Civil Rights Movement, Listed Chronologically" for links to some key ones on that topic.
