UWSP-DCE History Day Research Connection

A few highlights

Three highlights of our resources that are often great for NHD projects:
  • New York Times - we have access to the paper back to 1858.  Remember that the newspaper articles covering an event at the time of the event are primary resources!
  • US Documents - this might be especially important for this year's theme, since our large collection of US publications will contain many documents that demonstrate the result of diplomatic negotiations.  Find these in the library catalog.
  • Archives and Area Research Center program - Wisconsin has a unique research program that permits lending archival material (even from the Wisconsin Historical Society) between libraries.  So, if you find materials in Madison or at one of the other archives around the state, contact our archivist and ask her about having them shipped to our library at UWSP.
