Terms useful for locating primary sources in the UW Libraries Catalog:
Books can be secondary sources written by scholars and researchers about historical topics.
There may also be books that are published compilations of primary sources -- documents, letters, journals, etc.
Some books may be primary sources if they were written in the time period that your project is examining.
The UW Libraries Catalog will help you locate all of these resources. See the search box below for suggestions for terms to locate primary resources via the catalog.
