HIST 246W - Sports and Games in History (Haque/Biel 2025)

Where to Start

The Library has access to A LOT of primary sources that may be helpful for your research.  Please read the descriptions to see if it looks relevant to your topic/time period.

TIPS:

  • Consider your search terms.  You are searching in primary sources.  Topics may have been described differently in the past.  For international topics consider how the rest of the world describes something such as Soccer/Football.
  • Don't get frustrated.  Schedule an appointment with Librarian Daardi Mixon or get help via the 24/7 Ask a Librarian service. Visit the Get Research Help tab on this course guide to schedule an appointment or ask a question.
