History 498B: Political Movements in U.S. History

Exercise 1

In the "Collection Items" tab of the digitized newspaper collection, Chronicling America, make a keyword search relating to your research topic. See how many results you get without narrowing your search by a geographic location, ethnicity, or date. 

Then, refine your results by using the facets at the left. Does your search get more manageable? Select an article and assess it and the newspaper issue as a whole.

Feel free to report on your findings, either the content of your search results or on your search experience.

Exercise 2

In the digital collection Black Thought and Culture (see below), find primary sources on the subject of communism.
