Post # 3 At the Starting Line (Beginning Research Sites)
Students, this post contains a link to two easily searchable, interesting and interactive sites that I recommend viewing when beginning research, or when finding more information on topics that we have covered during class.
Regarding Link 1: The History Channel Website- feel free to search this website, especially for their collection of online videos which contain information from professionals in the field of history, as well as first hand accounts (primary sources) by people who are directly involved in the topic you are researching.
Regarding Link 2: Wikipedia the Online Encyclopedia- while you SHOULD NOT cite the Wikipedia website as a source for your research papers, Wikipedia is a great place to start when trying to understand more about a historical research topic. Each Wikipedia article (should) contain links to additional cites which have citable information on a topic.
