It may be a good idea to check with your teacher or professor before doing so. Where possible, links to some excellent source materials are provided at the bottom of each article. You may wish to follow through to these materials for your further readings; and many of these can be cited first- or second-hand resources. Furthermore, the historical articles you will find in this web site are wide-ranging and can be used to think up other topics for further research. This site is an ongoing endeavor, so it will be a good idea to keep coming back for new materials.
