Click here to make an appointment with me to chat about finding sources or citing them!:
Type "Matilda of Tuscany" into the search box of one of these databases to start this activity in class. Browse the articles on her and come up with at least two key terms for us to use in a search.
Over 400 full-text academic encyclopedias, language dictionaries, books of quotations, and other sources. Includes subject-specific titles from art, classics, history, law, linguistics, literature, media studies, medicine, performing arts, philosophy, religion, science and technology, politics, and more.
Sarah will show you how to use the key terms you found in part 2:

In pairs, browse the primary sources tab of this guide and peruse one source where you might start to look for primary sources for your own topic.
Another way to find translated primary sources in books is to use the catalog to search for your topic:
EXAMPLES:
