As you students and parents are preparing for the History Fair topic, here are some resources for information that can be accessed from home through the Harris County Public Library website [2] using your library card. The World Book Reference Center [3] is a wonderful tool for research. There are links to thousands of articles as well as a link to primary sources for example, speeches, letters, treaties and other documents. There is also a Citation Builder link [4] which will help students cite their sources in the correct manner. In addition to the World Book there is also a database devoted to history, the World History Collection [5]. So explore these resources as you work on your project.
