When searching print and online access tools, use search terms such as SOURCES, CORRESPONDENCE, PERSONAL NARRATIVES, DIARIES, SERMONS, SPEECHES, LAW, AND LEGISLATION.
Look for primary sources referenced in secondary and tertiary sources. Use textbooks, class, and library bibliographies for recommended titles of primary sources. Browse the library shelves where you can find primary sources alongside secondary sources in the same subject area.
