Online Resources
Databases
Databases can be a great resource for your History Day project. Not only can you find reference articles and links to other web resources, the materials and information you access on a database have already been evaluated for you. That means you can trust the information provided. In addition to gaining rich background information on your topic, you might also be able to locate primary sources through databases.
If you're researching from home, make sure you check with Mrs. Hestermann, Mrs. Royal, or Mrs. Sedlacek for passwords.
