Finding Background & Books

Before starting your research, refresh yourself on events, people, or issues that relate to your study.  Finding essays within handbooks and encyclopedias is a great way to get such information, but don't forget books can help you as well.  Here are some suggested starting points:

Oxford Research Encyclopedias: Latin American History - Essays written by scholars on a variety of topics. Browse by broad subject category.  The library does not subscribe to this database, but some entries are free to the public.

Search Albert, the Library catalog, for books and film/ video on your topic:
