HIST 125 asks you to find a "web article" from the free web rather than the UMGC Library and to provide the article's author(s) (if available), the article's title, the website's title, and the article's URL.

Our history subject guide has links to some recommended websites for history.

You can also search the web for museum websites and other websites with authoritative and credible authors; use search engines such as Google or Bing to search for web pages on a topic of your choice. Note that you can add site:.org to the end of your search in order to limit your results to just pages whose URLs end in .org -- for example, to find organizations' web pages that discuss the printing press, you could search for:

"printing press" site:.org
