Start your search for scholarly articles with the ATLA Religion Database. This is the best research database for the field of religion.
Link your search terms using the AND connector. For example: "sephardic jews" and ottoman. On the search results screen, use the options on the left toolbar to narrow your search results. To find the full-text of the article (if not provided directly in the database), click on the "Check for Full Text" link and work your way through the screens. Not all articles will be online, some may only be in print, others may not be available at the UW. Articles from journals which the UW does not own can be requested via Interlibrary loan.
These databases will include some coverage of Sephardic studies and Ladino language & literature.
