Welcome to the History Guide

Use this guide to help you start your research assignment or to familiarize yourself with your subject discipline's search tools and strategies. Each discipline has it's own research methods, databases, peer reviewed scholarly journals, and authorities or experts. We can't cover everything in one guide, but this is a good jumpstart on your journey. 

Contact the librarian listed for more help on navigating specific resources and finding information you need. We're excited you're here!
