Searching for Primary Resources

If you are searching an online collection or catalogue, the following search terms are often used as subject headings for primary sources:

  • personal narratives
  • diary (or diaries)
  • letters
  • photographs
  • oral histories
  • speeches
  • interviews
  • reports
  • congresses
  • quotations
  • autobiography

Most catalogues will have filters available to limit the search criteria, such as time period, language, subject, material, location, etc. These filters will help narrow down the search results to make them more manageable.
