Search tips…

If the above sites do not have the information you need or you’d like to perform your own search, be as specific as possible.  Use quotes around phrases, such as “Civil Rights” and Boolean operators such as AND OR & NOT, such as Woodstock AND “music festival” to get more specific results since there are many towns named Woodstock in the United States, as well as a character in the Peanuts comic strip.
