Overview
In social and historical research, primary resources include historical documents (e.g. letters, pamphlets, political tracts, manifestos), diaries, autobiograhies, archival images, and contemporaneous (published at that time) newspaper and periodical articles (offering the understanding or opinion of the day).
- You can search the catalog for historical medical texts, autobiographies or memoirs, letters and diaries.
- You can search historical newspapers or magazines for popular representations of your health topic in the news of the time.
- Or, you can search one of several primary source collections (no guarantees, but it's interesting anyway).
