The Museum does not have the resources to help with general historical research. We encourage you to make use of your local library or search reputable Web sites.
The Museum Web site is a rich resource for students working on school assignments. We encourage students to use exhibition Web sites and online collections to access information about primary sources relevant to their research. You may also be able find our classroom resources useful. Use the search box at the top right of the page to search the whole site.
