Scope of the Home tab: present interesting feeds, blogs, and current information about the discipline.
Scope of the Basics tab: resources for finding background information on a historical topic and some general history research/writing guides.
Scope of the other tabs: should be self-explanatory.
This guide contains information that is meant to help orient you to doing historical research, with a specific focus on doing historical research at Sacred Heart University.
Please use this homepage and the tabs above to learn about the various types of resources (with specific examples) and research tools/techniques available to support the information needs of Sacred Heart's students and faculty who wish to do historical research.
Please contact me or use the comment feature below if you have any questions or suggestions. If you're working on a project or paper that relates to any of the humanities fields and you would like some research assistance, please feel free to set up an individual research consultation with me ( berryr@sacredheart.edu ).
Interesting (and potentially useful) Blogs
Believe it or not, historians blog too. (I've included scholars in related disciplines in this list, though they might not be historians per se). This informal
format often offers insights in historians’ psyches, which are not so readily gleaned
from their scholarship alone. This mixing of the personal and the professional
can make the subject matter more affecting for some people and the informal fomat allows for better transmission of certain types of knowledge.
- American Historical Association BlogThe official blog of the American Historical Society (the professional association for all historians).
- Blog Them Out of the Stone Age: Toward a broader vision of military historyMark Grimsley's blog aimed to "reconsider the assumptions that inform military history, to broaden the field, to place it in better conversation with other fields, and to bring it to maturity as an area of academic specialization."
- Informed Comment: Thoughts on the Middle East, History, and Religion Juan R. I. Cole is Richard P. Mitchell Distinguished University Professor of History at the University of Michigan. He has written extensively about Egypt, Iran, Iraq, and South Asia.
- Old is the New New — Dropping history like Galileo dropped the orange MacDougall (University of Western Ontario) claims that, "if Old is the New New is about anything, it’s that the past is weirder than we think. This blog is dedicated to the back roads of American history, its oddities and strange enthusiasms..."
- Reading ArchivesDr. Richard Cox (University of Pittsburgh) offers readers "critical observations on the scholarly and popular literature analyzing the nature of archives or contributing to our understanding of archives in society."
