Course Number: HI271 Subject: History Background Oxford Bibliographies search across academic bibliographies to find topic ideas and links to resources Oxford Encyclopedia of Women in World History biographies of famous women Cambridge Histories search across the full text of this influential set of histories. History of Feminism also includes primary source material Secondary sources Omni Laurier's catalogue contains all our books (print and online) as well as millions of articles. It can sometimes be difficult to narrow down to useful resources, so consider different filters, such as searching just for books. Historical Abstracts Where Omni searches across all disciplines, this database only indexes academic material in history. JSTOR While most of these full text titles are indexed in Historical Abstracts, searching JSTOR itself provides a search across the full text, which when done carefully, can find unique results. Since JSTOR contains journal articles starting with the first volumes, some of the older content could also be considered primary source material. Literature Online Literary sources, both secondary and primary. Primary Sources Primary source material can be found both in print (usually reprinted) and online (digitized). In Omni, add words such as "sources" "diaries" or "letters" to your search term to find anthologies of primary sources. For example, see the results for a search on "women's rights sources." If you have a title of a particular book published before 1923, you can likely find it in the Internet Archive. Some libraries and archives digitize their archival collections, and can possibly be found through Google. In addition to a search term, add "primary sources" and site:edu, and you will find sites such as this. The Library also subscribes to collections of digitized primary sources: Primary sources - Collections British and Irish Women's Letters and Diaries Defining Gender EuroDocs: Online Sources for European History (free site online) First World War Mass Observation Online Nineteenth Century Collections Online - Women: Transnational Networks Popular Culture in Britain and America, 1950-1975 Women and Social Movements, International: 1840 to Present Primary Sources - Newspapers and Magazines 19th Century UK Periodicals British Library Newspapers Daily Mail: Historical Archive 1896-2004 Eighteenth Century Journals Illustrated London News Historical Archive 1842-2003 Times : Digital Archive 1785-2010 Vogue Archive Multimedia Filmakers Library e.g., Poumy Films on Demand e.g., The Story of Women and Art Streaming Music Citing your Sources Most library resources provide you with citation formatting displayed under the heading "cite" or "citation." For this class you are required to follow the Laurier History Department Style Guide, which in turn is based on the Chicago Manual of Style (library subscription).
