So, you're writing a research paper for a history class. You've come to the right place! You might be a freshman taking Historian's Craft and wondering how you're supposed to read anything David Bebbington writes and find primary sources for the first time. You might be an upperclassman, maybe even writing your senior seminar paper, and you know that you've come to lean on many of these resources to complete the final piece of the puzzle. Either way, this research guide is for you. Your professors (and librarians!) want to help you, but that doesn't mean we want to do the work for you. After all: if you give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day; if you teach a man to fish, he'll eat for a lifetime.
That doesn't mean that we can't provide the hooks and worms-- so consider this your tackle box.
