Mexico History Research Guide

This research guide will provide resources that students can use to complete assignments in HIST 3356: Mexico. Click on the tabs for resources on locating articles, books, primary sources, citing help, and other information! Please don't hesitate to reach out to myself or the library if you need research assistance!

You can search the library's catalog to find both books and articles. Please be aware that it sometimes appears that we own a copy of book, but it is the book review. 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 "At San Antonio Libraries" or "At other libraries worldwide" on the last line. Any book that is tagged "At San Antonio Libraries" can be checked out by using a TexShare card. For any book that is tagged "At other libraries worldwide" an Interlibrary Loan request can be made to get that book to the patron.

Here are some search terms to get you started. This list is by no means exhaustive, but it might be helpful to begin your research by browsing some of these ideas.
