The collaborative effort of historians and academicians Ronald H. Fritze, Brian E. Coutts, and Louis A. Vyhnanek, Reference Sources In History: An Introductory Guide is now in a newly updated and expanded second edition. This seminal reference begins with an initial chapter dealing with historiography, methodology, chronologies, calendars, lists of rulers, historical metrology, and the auxiliary sciences of history (archaeology, genealogy, heraldry, numismatics, paleography, diplomatics, epigraphy, and sigillography); then goes on with specific chapters devoted to bibliographies; book review indexes; periodical guides and core journals; periodical indexes, abstracts, and guides; newspapers; dissertations and theses; government publications and legal sources; dictionaries and encyclopedias; biographical sources; geographical sources and atlases; historical statistical sources; archives, manuscripts, special collections, digital sites; and microforms. Enhanced with an exhaustive (but thoroughly user friendly) index, this new edition of Reference Sources In History is an ideal and highly recommended addition to secondary school, college, and university History Studies and Study Skills reference and resource collections.
