Welcome
This guide is intended to give students in History 2315: Censorship a resource for guidance in library research. It is selective, identifying only a limited array of sources. The sources and strategies here are points of departure; my hope is that they lead to others of interest.
Guide Structure:
HOLLIS tab: Includes Borrow Direct and WorldCat. HOLLIS can be used to find both primary and secondary sources.
Digital Libraries through Internet Censorship tabs cover resources for finding primary sources.
---Digital Libraries lists general and language-specific digital libraries.
---Documentary Collections lists subject-specific collections.
Historical/Literary (2ndary) Sources through Biography tabs cover secondary sources and resources for background and context.
If you have questions or comments, please contact Fred Burchsted (burchst@fas.harvard.edu). Please feel free to email us with questions. We can make an appointment for you to come in and talk at length about your project.
