Since Jimmy Carter was the president during the crisis, I looked in his presidential database to find primary sources. I found the journal of Robert C.

I searched in this data base again for more primary sources and information about the hostage crisis. I got an overview of the situation as well as more information regarding the political struggles, social and economic reforms, as well as information on the global relations and struggles occurring around the crisis.
The above link also supplied me with many other primary source documents linked at the bottom of the page such as "The Hostages and the Casualties", which allowed me to see who died and how they died, people that were released, and names, ages, and diplomatic status of the hostages.
Another document linked was the "Rescue Mission Report" which was used to gain information on the mission from an analytical point of view, which provided many concrete facts and a realistic view into the mission.
The next primary source was "The Tehran Six"which I read letters regarding the rescue mission that Argo was based on, as well as real time reports and statistics regarding the mission itself.
The last primary source I got from this data base was named "Select Records at the Jimmy Carter Library Related to the Iran Hostage Crisis"which showed correspondence between Jimmy Carter and Ayatollah Khomeini, and correspondence between U.S. government officials regarding the crisis which gave insight into how the U.S. was actually reacting and what was going on in the government, and their plans and failures.
