History Sourcebook
A primary sourcebook designed to "present a diversity of
source material in modern European, American, and Latin American
history, as well as a significant amount of material pertinent to
world cultures and global studies. A number of other online
source collections emphasize legal and political documents. Here
efforts have been made to include contemporary narrative
accounts, personal memoirs, songs, newspaper reports, as well as
cultural, philosophical, religious and scientific documents.
Although the history of social and cultural elite groups remains
important to historians, the lives of non-elite women, people of
color, lesbians and gays are also well represented here."
