HS115 - U.S. History to 1877

History Databases page from Beeghly Library - These databases cover various aspects of history

Ideas of places to look for PRIMARY sources:

Early American Newspapers and Early American Imprints - We subscribe to part of this and the rest is on trial until the END of SEPT! (use FireFox instead of IE)

Avalon Project - Historical American documents

American Memory from the Library of Congress

Pennsylvania Archives -- F146 call number area of basement STACKS in the library

Beeghly Treasure Room -- schedule an appointment to browse the card catalog/shelves (email a librarian)

WEBCAT -- "In-house" catalog

WorldCat -- Global library catalog (our holdings show too) -- good for ILL books -- Books in archives or special collections will not come via ILL -- you may need to travel

These are just possible search tools/locations. Your chosen item may require something else -- consult a librarian.

Remember -- Databases use IP authentication (be connected to EagleNet)
Remember -- Taking Notes about your databases and search strategies can really help
Remember -- Use the AtoZ List to find journals that you can access.
