One example is The Industrial Revolution in Europe. Another is Brazil's participation in the coffee industry. A couple of relevant reference books contained in this database are the Ency. of the Age of Industry and Empire, Ency. of European Social History and the Ency. of Modern China. You can "search within" these books for your terms, like Suez Canal, farmer, peasant or artisan.

Below are just a few ideas of the types of sources you can find online. Steer clear of blogs and prezis (though there is one on Brazil from one of our former student groups)! Go Scholarly! For example, adding site:edu to your search terms will provide only university sites in your results list. Use the keywords you've gathered from the sources above to get better results.
Industrial History of European Countries - Provided by the European Route of Industrial Heritage. Choose your country and be sure to follow the links for more information at the bottom of each article.
Britannica.com - (The free version!) "Germany: The Revolutions of 1848-49," "Early Modern Japan," and "Germany: The Economy , 1890-1914" are example articles provided by the free version of Britannica.
Primary Sources!
Real historians and authors use primary sources to gather evidence about the details of history. We learn from images, newspaper articles, court documents, letters, etc. the interesting details beyond the headlines. Primary sources can be found anywhere! They are within books, databases articles, historical newspaper repositories and on the free web, especially in government and museum sites. Think about what type of primary source would have answers to the questions you have and enjoy the search!!
Beatrice Webb Diaries - A collection of Ms. Webb's original diaries is made available by the London School of Economics Digital Collections. Read an overview and then click on the right to access either her handwritten or typed diary entries.
Brazil: The Awakening Giant - This is a web supplement of primary sources to the Modern Latin America textbook, provided by the Library of Brown University.
Asia for Educators hosted by Columbia University, it has primary source documents for Japan and China. The link takes you to the time period for your research, but not necessarily focused only on industrialization.
19th Century Historical Newspapers and Newspaper Archives from KCLS. Look for articles from the late 1800's describing the building of the Suez Canal, industry or events in your country. The New York Times for example would have articles of major events in your countries, written in English. Search key words, not dates. KCLS has two News archives. Take a look!
Citations
Two main understandings for citing your sources: WHAT is it and HOW did YOU access it?
