Resources for CREDIBLE Research
World History in Context - EXCELLENT for concise, reputable info and images of primary sources (documents, artifacts). MLA citations at the bottom of every article. This spreadsheet shows the search terms I had success with.
Library Collection - Use the books on the cart and/or search the catalog for a book about your empire.
