Welcome to the SSU History Research Guide!

Conducting history research can take many paths. A few hints before you begin:

  1. What is your instructor asking you to do -- keep this in mind as you look for resources.
  2. What kinds of sources are required and what is off limits?
  3. Develop multiple strategies around:
  • Dates 
  • People
  • Specifics
  • Types of resources
  1. Remember -- looking for information is only part of what you must do.  You must also leave plenty of time for writing and, if necessary, to work on a presentation.
