Welcome to the research course guide for HIST 155: Women, Gender, and U.S. Colonialism This guide is a good place to start for researching the primary and secondary sources you will need to locate for your annotated bibliography and for your final research paper. Use the tabs on the side to go to the different categories on the side.
Remember that this guide is a place to begin your research. The main subject guides, listed below under "other research guides, have a much fuller offering of both secondary and primary source databases
Just a few words about research that you can either heed or ignore: seen holistically, these different types of sources make up the scholarly conversation. Your research paper, responding to your topic and the sources you locate, is also part of the scholarly conversation. What you find in your sources may alter the trajectory of your research. In sum: research is an art, not a science, and as such it is not linear.
Please remember that I and other librarians are here to help you. Don't hesitate to contact me or make an appointment.
