History Day Research in Minnesota

[Matt Lee]

Minitex Reference Outreach & Instruction has just created a new tool to support and guide students (and their teachers) throughout the History Day research process. Find the History Day Research in Minnesota website at
https://z.umn.edu/historydayresearch.

History Day Research in Minnesota will walk students through the process of researching History Day projects. It provides guidance for the research process and recommends research sources available to Minnesota residents, including the Electronic Library for Minnesota (ELM).

The site is divided into six sections which can be viewed in chronological order or individually.

• Understanding the Theme
• Choosing & Narrowing a Topic
• Research Questions & Search Terms
• Background & Context
• Gathering Sources
• Bibliography
