Finding Visuals
If you are in the exhibit, documentary, or website categories, remember to find strong clear visuals to support your historical argument. You may come across these during your primary source research. However, if you are still looking for visuals, try searching the locations below and remember these tips:
Do Your Own Exploration - the locations below might be good places to start, but remember there is a lot more out there.
Go beyond a Google search - an image from the actual archive or museum digital collection is stronger than one found randomly in an internet search.
Find Good Quality Visuals - Try to find high quality images so that your visuals are strong and clear no matter what size you need them.
Don't Forget to Collect Information on Your Visuals - You need to be sure to cite all your visuals in your bibliography, so be sure to write down all the valuable info for each visual so that you remember where you found it and how to cite it.
Don't Forget to Credit - All visuals used in your exhibit and website must have credits with them, and visuals in documentaries need to be credited at the end. Credits do not need to be the full citation that you use in your bibliography, but brief info that helps people find the full source information in your bibliography. Learn more in this video and by consulting the Rule Book.
