HIST 27/127: Public and Digital History (Gudgeirsson)

Picking a Database

SCU subscribes to hundreds of databases that provide access to proprietary information in every discipline represented in the degrees awarded at our school.

For this class, you will want to use databases that are specific to history.

Once you exhaust the history options, you can also try multidisciplinary databases, but you will have to use more or different keywords since you are not solely searching a body of historical research.

While many of these articles will contain reproductions or large quotes from primary sources, they are considered secondary sources.
