With the exception of the first section (General) and the last (American), this page is arranged topically and chronologically by period; the open-source external links within each box are arranged alphabetically. Please note that these links are not at all exhaustive, but meant to serve as a starting point for research questions.
Utilizing the Internet for research is an increasingly accepted practice that can be a boon, but researchers must still be wary. Be sure to apply information literacy tenets like authority, relevancy, and currency to the resource you are reviewing.
