History reference sources can be useful for getting a brief overview of a topic or time period within ancient history, and placing them in a broader historical context. These sources may also refer you to related books, articles, and other helpful materials. They are therefore often ideal for beginning your research.
Most print reference sources must be used in the library. Photocopies are 15 cents per page. In some of the campus libraries, you can scan pages onto a flash drive free of charge.
