Use relevant bibliographies.
Once you have found a good article or book on your topic, look at
the references cited by this author. You might find scholarly and
primary sources.
Search historically.
Particularly when searching for primary source documents, keep
in mind that spelling, word choice, and geographic names may have
been different during the time period you're researching.
Need background info? Try reference sources.
Print and online reference works can give you the basic historical
context for your topic, and enable you to identify key participants, dates,
events, and concepts. (See the Overviews page for recommendations.)
Ask for help when you need it.
Don't hesitate to ask a librarian or your professor for
assistance with finding and analyzing sources.
