How to Use this Guide

This guide is organized first geographically on the top level pages and then by either subject or geographically within the pages. Each features additional tips for finding resources outside of the provided resources. The major boxes feature open libraries, archives, and other repositories with digitized primary sources and the smaller, side boxes feature curated collections and projects that will contain both primary and secondary sources (these collections will be very specific).
