This page is provided primarily for students in my courses. But I confess, I also use these links in my professional research. The following clicks represent the most comprehensive and sophisticated Search Engines, WebLinks, and WebSites that I can find. Because research skills are important and continue to change, learning how to make electronic searches is an increasingly critical component of academic and daily life. This WebSite provides simple access to major facilities in History and the History of Science. It emphasizes European History from Antiquity through the 18th Century. But there is something here for everyone.

Give it a test drive. If you are not familiar with on-line, data-base, and search procedures, this is a good place to begin. The Clicks provided below open Major Highways that often lead to fruitful Back-Water Paths. Follow the clues where ever they lead. Part of the fun is not knowing what you might find. Along the way, pay particular attention to differences in how information is sliced & diced, note strengths & weaknesses of the various organizational designs & search techniques. Above all, enjoy the trip! It's not only what you find but how you get there. Let me know if you come across anything unusual or curiously cool.
