This list of library resources is broken down into two parts, based on the way you may approach your research.
To begin, browse or search in one of the Research Starter databases to explore and help focus your topic. In these Research Starter databases, you can search with broad terms rather than worrying about the specific, targeted search. You will use this first step to find those additional, specific terms!
You may also choose to browse an online collection from a trusted institution like the National Archives. These resources can be used to explore your topic, or to find primary and secondary sources for your analysis.
Then, select from one of the databases that contains primary sources, and use the specific keywords you developed to locate relevant primary sources. Some databases, like JSTOR and HeinOnline, can also provide you with scholarly secondary sources to help with your analysis.
You may also want to use a book or eBook, which you can search for in the Library Catalog, linked from the bottom of the page.
