Reference Sources in History

Reviews / Votes

The editors are to be commended for mining the huge historical reference literature and compiling this compact and superbly researched guide. Nicely designed with easy-to-read type, this unique and updated work is highly recommended for both reference and acquisition librarians in public and academic libraries. * Booklist * The thing that separates this volume from run of the mill bibliographies is the quality of the annotations that the authors provide. . . . Just browsing the pages will yield many starting points for valuable lessons and should send them to visit their school librarian with requests for the well-known and obscure titles. This book should be included in any library looking to bolster its reference section. * Library Media Connection * As the subtitle promises, this volume remains an excellent introductory guide for both undergraduate and graduate majors in history. * Lawrence Looks at Books * Reference Sources in History still has no equal in covering representative reference sources for all time periods and geographical areas. It remains an essential purchase for all academic and public libraries that have strong history collections. * American Reference Books Annual *
