Researching in archives is very different from using a traditional library, and knowing some key guidelines will make your future archival research much easier.
Your best resource is often the archivist, so it's good to get in the habit of calling and talking to them. Archivists love nothing more than talking about their collections, so take advantage of that tendency!
The following are a sampling of online primary source websites. This is by no means a complete list of sites; please refer to the Primary Sources LibGuide for additional links.
Using the Primary Sources LibGuide will be one of your most helpful tools during this course. The guide contains a wealth of information, including definitions, how to evaluate sources for credibility, and links to many library databases and web resources. While the lists are lengthy, they are by no means exhaustive. Please click on the link below to open this guide.
