Purpose

The History Subject Guide provides links to databases that are designed to help you find information effectively.  The databases will lead you to relevant journal articles, books, and primary sources.

Reference sites, such as Oxford Reference Online Premium or Credo, are are often good places to start your research (see below).  These sites of specialized encyclopedias and dictionaries can help you bone up on topics, narrow a broad area of inquiry, and begin a compilation of a working bibliography. The History Department liaison, Nevin Mayer, will help connect you to the resources you need for an assignment.
