method breaks large subjects into sub-fields that help pinpoint
helpful titles. If you are uncertain about specific subject
headings, try a Keyword search on "Everything" using
one or two words that you feel describe the topic. Look at
the subject headings attached to the results of this search
and Browse on them.

| Identifying
Primary Source Materials |
|
|
The first step in identifying primary source material is to
read the bibliographies and scan the footnotes in the secondary
works on your subject. Read also the preface and acknowledgments:
authors often identify particularly useful works, libraries,
or archives there.
Some of the types of materials you will use as primary sources
are:
1. Newspaper and magazine articles
written at the time of the events.
2. Autobiographies and diaries :
written records of the time.
3. Records and publications of governments
or governmental agencies involved in the events.
Historical Newspaper
and Magazine Articles
Check the
Woodruff Library newspaper list for appropriate newspapers.
It is organized by country (or state) and includes a chronological
index. Do not forget the Center
for Research Libraries foreign newspaper collection.
The following indexes are helpful for identifying newspaper
and magazine articles written during the period covered
by this course:
- Humanities
& Social Sciences Abstracts (1907 to present)
- Coverage includes a wide range of interdisciplinary fields
covered in a broad array of humanities and social sciences
journals. There are some foreign language titles included
prior to 1965; thereafter all titles are in English.
- New
York Times Historical (1851-1999)
- Provides the full text of every article as well as search
capability by key word.
- Nineteenth
Century Masterfile (1800-1906)
- Contains indexing from one of the few indexes to 19th
century periodicals, Pooles Index to Periodical Literature.
It also contains indexing from three other late 19th century
indexes. Both British and American periodicals and journals
are covered.
- Reader's
Guide Retrospective (1890-1982)
- The great index to U. S. (and some British) popular and
general interest magazines of the Twentieth Century. It
includes news magazines
- Times

images of each page of every issue of the Times.
- Wellesley Index to Victorian Periodicals, 1824-1900
CD-ROM
Information Commons Non-Web Databases
- Indexes the tables of contents for each issue of 43 monthly
and quarterly periodical publications for the period 1824-1900.
All words in titles are searchable as well as are authors
names.
Autobiographies,
Diaries and Source Collections
Autobiographies and diaries are, of course, listed under the
name of the author but it is difficult to identify such publications
by subject searching because the terms "autobiography" or "memoirs"
or "diary" are not used. You may, however, browse EUCLID using
the subject heading "Diaries Bibliography" or "Autobiography
Bibliography" to locate lists of these.

Government Records
and Publications
This section is quite incomplete but is offered to suggest
the types of materials available in the library. To investigate
collections applicable to a particular topic or country, consult
your librarian.
A.
Indexes to Government Records
Indexes to British Parliamentary Papers (1801-1945)
Beck Center CD-ROM 262
This is the best index to the Sessional Papers for the period
it covers. The "Sessional Index" is based on the indexes for
each session and covers the period 1801-1945 for the House
of Commons and 1801-1922 for the House of Lords. The keyword
capability of the "Sessional Indexes" makes it especially
useful. This CD also includes a "General Subject Index" covering
1801-1899 for the House of Commons and 1801-1859 for the House
of Lords. There is also an index to personal names.
The following print indexes are also useful:
General Index to the Bills, Reports, and Papers printed
by order of the House of Commons and to the Reports and
Papers Presented by Command, 1900-1948/49 (1960)
Reference J301 .M3 1900-1949

British Documents on Foreign Affairs: Reports and Documents
from the Foreign Office Confidential Print Part I:1848-1914

Part IV: 1945-1949 (JZ632 .B77 - JX632 ,/b7795)
The "Confidential Print" was a means of distributing diplomatic
dispatches and other papers among government offices and agencies.
These documents were generally reports of conditions or other
matters in a country or area that observers, diplomatic, military,
or civilian, thought important. All of these volumes have
a table of contents with two or four word descriptions of
the contents of each document. Various series within each
part cover different parts of the world.
British Parliamentary Papers. House of Commons Sessional
Papers
Microfiche 684 (1731-1941/42; 1979 to present)
Microprint 8 (1931 to 1978/79)
The British House of Commons Sessional Papers consist of
Bills, Reports of Committees and Commissions, and Accounts
and Papers covering a wide range of political, historical
and economic information. Included in the Sessional Papers
are the so-called Command Papers, papers non-Parliamentary
in origin but presented to Parliament "By Command" of His/Her
Majesty. Usually such these papers deal with issues likely
to be the subject of legislation. Often they will include
government "White" or position papers and significant Royal
Commission reports.
Parliamentary Debates (Authorized Edition)
Microfilm 3332 (1803-1908)
Government UK J301 .K22 (House of Commons) (1909 to
present)
Government UK J301 .J22 (House of Lords) (1909 to present)
Known as Hansard's after an early publisher, each volume
of the Parliamentary Debates has an index of speakers
and subjects. From 1830 on, each session is indexed either
at the end of the last volume of the session or in a separate
and last volume of the session. Note that Hansard's is numbered
by columns, not by pages. Also, researchers should be aware
that the pages for the oral debate and the pages for the answers
to written questions are numbered separately, the index placing
a "w" after items listed in the written answer section.
