History Research Guide

This guide is meant to be a starting point for students who need assistance with finding both secondary and primary resources related to all areas of history. Please see the additional History guides below for additional resources geared toward specific geographical regions and time periods. Please let me know if you need assistance with your research! 

If we own the title, Texas A&M University-San Antonio Library will appear on the last line of the citation. The library's catalog also gathers titles that appear within San Antonio area libraries and throughout the world. These books will either have San Antonio Libraries or WorldCat Libraries on the last line. Any book that is tagged San Antonio Libraries can be checked out by using a TexShare card. For any book that is tagged WorldCat Libraries an Interlibrary Loan request can be made to get that book to the patron.

• Remember, look at the bibliography and references of books to find additional resources for your research. 
• The print books are organized by subject on the book stacks in the library, so look at the books next to the book you are grabbing to find additional relevant books.
