In that case try looking for articles that deal with the broader context in which your site was created and used. For example, try finding out more about the community in which your site is located - who lived/lives there? What is the economy based on? What are the politics? The social institutions (schools, religions, etc.) or other community networks? You may also need to widen your search for scholarly sources to include sources on similar sites in other locations, or the function of your site more broadly (for example, the purpose/role of public memorials in our national memory) General and Multidisciplinary Databases: finding articles Expanded Academic Index UW restricted - scholarly journals, magazines, and newspapers JSTOR search UW restricted - scholarly journals, multidisciplinary Project MUSE Search UW restricted - scholarly journals, multidisciplinary ProQuest Research Library UW restricted - scholarly journals, magazines, and newspapers Google Scholar - an interesting new tool, but keep in mind that only a fraction of the available scholarly sources are here Newspapers Washington State Newsstand - 1980's/1990's to the present Local community newspapers Primary Sources: local and U.S. Local History: Primary Sources More U.S. History Primary Sources Finding Images and Films Statistics Historical Statistics of the U.S. UW restricted Selected U.S. Decennial Census reports U.S. Statistical Abstracts, from 1878+ U.S. Decennial Census Reports Contains historical census reports in PDF for 1790-1860, 1990, and 2000 United States Historical Statisics Reference Books: background information Chronology of the American West: from 23,000 B.C.E. through the twentieth century F591 Z46 2002 Historical atlas of the Pacific Northwest F851 H38 1999 ATLAS CASE The Oxford history of the American West F591 .O95 1994 More subject guides All Research Databases Back to top
