General Databases for History
- Academic Search Complete This link opens in a new windowThis database is a best bet for many subjects, offering academic articles in subjects such as arts, humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.
- JSTOR This link opens in a new windowJSTOR is a database with many full-text articles in a variety of subject areas taught at UD. It can be especially helpful for literature, philosophy, history, and religion but for other subject areas as well. However, all JSTOR articles are at least three years old, and often older, so it is not the best place to find the most current research.
