The Best History Sites on the Web
Historical research is much easier than it used to be. Large collections of historical materials (letters, maps, images, personal narratives) have been digitized by historical societies and archives around the world. Check out this section to see the best examples and learn how to find them.
The Books You Need
Books will be an essential part of your research. Remember that they are not available for free on the web, unless they are very old. Check out various types of books available in libraries that will make your research much easier.
