Finding good, relevant sources is an important early step in the research process. By this point in the semester, you should have some idea of a topic that you are interested in for your research essay and you should be starting to collect sources.
Post the author’s name, book or article title, journal title (if applicable) and publisher for 3 sources that you have already found in the comments below.
ETA: A previous post asked you to think of a topic you are interested in regardless of whether or not it was related to the course. This post is asking you to find sources related to your research topic which must fall within the scope of this course: roughly 1500-1865, North America. Please make sure your sources (and research topic) are related to the course.
This post will be available for new comments until Tuesday September 30.

Hi Brandon,
DeleteYour sources should be related to a topic that you can write about for your research essay, so it must fall within the scope of the course. I'll clarify the main post, but please find three sources that you can use for your essay.
I realize that. When i was writing about what i wanted to write about i had said leaders and i decided to go with Cesar.
DeleteOk, but Caesar doesn't fit within the scope of this course. Can you find a different leader, in North America, between 1500 and 1865?

Hi Jeremy,
DeleteThis post is asking you to choose one topic and find three related sources. Any of the three topics you listed above would be fine- now you need to pick one and find three sources, preferably secondary sources using JSTOR or CUNY+.
Oh okay, I will choose 1 from the three previously mentioned and look into the sources as well. Thank you!

Hi Diana,
DeleteI'm curious about your 2nd source- is it a primary or secondary source? What is the publisher's name? What kind of document it is- article, essay, book review?
Good Evening Professor,
DeleteIt is a secondary source. I found it on Harvard's University website. It is the article about Gold Rush. I could not find author's name.
Hi Diana,
DeleteJust because an article is on a university's website does not necessarily mean that it is a secondary source. Not having a clear author is a clue that it is not a secondary source. Does it have footnotes or a bibliography? Did you find it through a database like JSTOR or America History and Life? Was it published in a peer-reviewed journal?
These are good questions for everyone to think of when evaluating possible sources.
DeleteI decided to change my second source because I think it was not the best choice.
Here is what I will use instead of the one we mentioned previously:

Hi Faiza,
DeleteAbout your second source- is it from a peer-reviewed journal or scholarly press? Does it have footnotes? Who is the author? If the answers are no, then you most likely do not have a secondary source. You can get many secondary sources online, but there is a significant difference between finding an article through a scholarly database (JSTOR or others) and finding an article through a web search.

Hi Megan,
DeleteThis is too broad/complex a topic. I'd urge you to concentrate on slavery within North America so that your paper will fit within the scope of this course. Remember also that book reviews can be very helpful, but they are not secondary sources. What is the publication information for your second source? What is the title of the journal your third source was published in?
My topic for now is broadly on George Washington. I'll try to narrow it down on something about him after doing some more research. My 3 sources are from JSTOR.
