Archives USA

Faculty regularly ask students to use "primary sources" for an assignment. Where does one locate "primary sources"?

There is a resource on GALILEO that will tell you who has collected "primary sources" for a given topic:

ArchivesUSA® is a current directory of 5,550 repositories and 149,218 collections of primary source material housed across the United States. Powerfully integrated with detailed subject indexing, this research tool is a central collection of descriptive archival information.

When I did a search for Georgia, 64 sites came up as locations of "primary source" material.
The record notes phone numbers, addresses, web links, and materials collected.

The password for home use of GALILEO is available to the citizens of Georgia from your librarian. Some resources noted in this BLOG are only available to NMTC patrons.
