Primary sources can be amazing, but a lot of them aren't written with the general public in mind: they can be a slog to get through.
As an example for a trustworthy primary source I really like the youtube channel for the dutch safety investigation board. They are a primary source as they do their own research, but the videos they produce are mostly designed to inform politicians of the result of their research. This means they are made in plain language and are easy to consume. I can heartily recommend having a look at their channel.[0] There's plenty of videos that have an english version, mostly for internationally relevant topics.
Of course it is a state sponsored source, but as far as I can tell they have no political lean, and the only input the state has as far as I can tell is to task them with what to research. Everyone should do their own evaluation on their trustworthiness of course.
Other than that I haven't found many primary sources that I actually enjoy so if anyone has any suggestions for primary sources or ways to discover good primary sources that'd be greatly appreciated.
