Finding Primary Sources

Description: Original sources are the essential building blocks of scholarly research.  In this class we will take a look at several gateways – such as Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Intute, and Gallica – that either direct you to repositories of primary materials, or provide access to the full text of primary sources themselves.  Both English and selected foreign-language resources will be covered.

Class Level: Intermediate – I have some familiarity with the Watson Library and am looking for resources beyond the basics.

Schedule of classes:

  • Tuesday, June 23 — 11:00 am-12:00 pm
  • Thursday, June 25 — 11:00 am-12:00 pm

Location: This class will be held in the Uris Center Art Study Room. See Uris Center map (link accessible inside the Museum).
