How to do historical research
- Introduction to Historical ResearchThis guide offered by UW-Madison is an introduction to selected resources available for historical research. It covers both primary sources (such as diaries, letters, newspaper articles, photographs, government documents and first-hand accounts) and secondary materials (such as books and articles written by historians and devoted to the analysis and interpretation of historical events and evidence).
- Learning to Do Historical Research: A Primer for Environmental Historians and OthersProf. William Cronon's personal website offers a basic yet very clear introduction to historical research for anyone and everyone who is interested in exploring the past. Highly recommended!

2. Many steps of the research cycle are interconnected (see green arrows, above).
-If you aren't happy with your initial results in Step 3 (Finding your way), you may have to go back to Step 2 to re-evaluate your search terms.
