Databases

The first three databases are the primary History databases at the Proctor Library; the remainder are recommended. Find a reference librarian if you need help.

  • Gale U.S. History in Context
    This database provides access to reference book entries, peer-reviewed articles, magazine articles, newspapers, multimedia, and a limited number of primary sources. Information is organized by topic.
  • JSTOR
    The best scholarly database subscribed to by the Proctor Library providing access to articles in the fields of history, politicial science, archaeology, art history, anthropology, literature and languages, music, and more; however, JSTOR usually is unable to provide access to the most recently published articles.
  • Social and Cultural History: Letters and Diaries Online
    This is the only database devoted to just primary sources. It is a conglomerate of six seperate databases: North American Women's Letters and Diaries; British and Irish Women's Letters and Diaries; North American Immigrant Letters, Diaries, and Oral Histories; The American Civil War: Letters and Diaries; Black Thought and Culture; and Manuscript Women's Letters and Diaries. . . .
  • African American Newspapers (1827-1998)
    African American Newspapers, 1827-1998 provides online access to approximately 270 U.S. newspapers chronicling a century and a half of the African American experience.
  • ArchiveGrid
    Contrary to what you may think, this database does not provide access to articles or papers. It does however tell you which universities, archives, museums own what manuscript collections.
  • Biography Reference Bank
    Contains biographical information on approximately half a million people, from antiquity to the present, along with thousands of images.
  • Books Review Digest
    Rather than consult the physical Books Review Digest books for post-1983 publications, you can look up the title of a book here and get citations to reviews of the book. For titles published pre-1983 you can find BRD shelved in the reference collection under REF Z1219 .C96.
