CREATING THE WEBLIOGRAPHY:

Before beginning, read the instructions for creating your annotated webliography You will have a printout of this during your research.

Each of the sites below is a hotlink - accessible with a click. 

I suggest you begin by browsing the general history sites - unless you already know what era you wish to research!

If you are comfortable with searching using a megabrowser such as www.google.com, go for it! Just make sure you make your topic search word as specific as possible.
