Databases

• JSTOR provides access to scholarly journal articles in a wide variety of disciplines, although acquisitions are subject to a moving inclusion date with the result that most articles are 3 - 5 years old or older.  This is usually not a problem in history research, but may be a problem if more current research is needed.
• ProQuest and Academic Search Premier have extensive collections of current articles from scholarly journal articles and newspapers. These databases are easy to navigate and allow users to limit searches to provide focused results. The sites also suggests alternative subject terms to use if a broader or narrower search is required.
• U S History in Video provides access to a number of videos in the World War I collection both from the war and as historically accurate recreations.

WWI in Art

• U. S. Military's collection of army art from WWI
• Collection of German WWI photographs showing the early enthusiasm for and later grim reality of war.
