History

A guide to help you locate books, scholarly articles, and primary sources as well as citation guidelines related to historical research.

While most databases will provide you with citation information, it is essential you check those references for accuracy in a resource like the Online Writing Lab at Purdue. Most citations provided by databases will contain errors and it is essential for the scholarly process to have accurate citations.
