This tutorial is based on Adobe Premiere 5.1 for Apple Mac. The Windows version is very similar but newer versions of Premiere (version 6+) are slightly different.

The project window is the main footage library for your project. In it you can see the names of all the footage in your project, and some other information about those footage files, such as duration, and how many times you have used them on your timeline. Whenever you import video, or audio files into your project they are added to the list in the project window. Any footage you capture must also be imported and added to the project window.

This can be done through the file menu>import options: file, folder, multiple or project. There are also keyboard shortcuts for each of these options. Additionally, double clicking in empty space in the project window allows you to import a single file.
