Resources for Research in History

Welcome!

This guide is designed to direct you to helpful resources that can support research in the field of history at SBU.

Starting your search

The type of information you need will help determine what resources you use.

  • Library SEARCH on the library home page is your starting point for general searches across books, databases and other library collections.
  • Individual databases are specific collections of content that can be searched: things like newspapers, film scripts, medical information, academic journals, etc. Choose a database that fits the subject area or content type that you're looking for.

Getting help

  • Contact the library for help on any part of your research, either by email, phone, chat, or by scheduling an appointment. 
  • To specifically request a one-on-one research consultation with a librarian, you can email a specific librarian or use the Consultation Request Form to be matched with a librarian appropriate to your research questions.
  • Research guides will help you get started finding information on a broad range of topics.
