History Primary Source Documents

A student just came in with an assignment to do an analysis of 3 primary source documents related to early American history. The website suggested by the professor was terrible, but I came across this one while helping her that seemed to have a wealth of useful primary source material.

And of course Facts on File is pretty useful for this sort of thing.

Datamonitor

There have been a few reference questions lately inquiring if we subscribe to Datamonitor. The library does not have a Datamonitor subscription. However, Datamonitor reports are available in Business Source Premier. The easiest way to access them is to click "Company Profiles" from the options at the very top of the database screen. This takes you to a searchable listing of companies' Datamonitor Reports, which are available in PDF.
