How to Use this Guide:

This guide includes links to some of the many large and vast collections that contain a variety of materials relating to many topics, issues, events, etc.

People categorize collections in many different ways and many terms are used to describe them, so finding artifacts and materials can still sometimes be tricky! The following list of terms will be helpful in your searching online:

  • digital repository
  • online archives
  • online collections
  • virtual exhibits

For example: You may be exploring various pieces of World War II and are interested in finding collections of photos, letters, etc. online. You might need to try multiple searches to explore what collections are available:

  • "world war 2" AND "online archives"
  • "world war ii" AND  "online collections"
