Best Historical Reference Materials: 2009

Each year a committee in the History Section of the American Libraries Association selects what it feels are the best historical reference materials published in the previous year.  The list for 2009 was recently published, and includes three print bibliographies and four free websites.  The websites are:

• Duke Collection of American Indian Oral History Online. University of Oklahoma Western History Collections.
• European History Primary Sources (EHPS). A combined effort of the Library and the Department of History and Civilisation of the European University Institute.
• Making of History 1989: Fall of Communism in Eastern Europe. George Mason University.
• Montreal Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies.

The three printed resources, with links to the CUL catalog records, are:

• Blewett, Daniel K. American Military History: A Guide to Reference and Information Sources. 2nd ed.
• O’Brien, Elmer J. The Wilderness, The Nation, and The Electronic Era American Christianity and Religious Communication 1620–2000: An Annotated Bibliography.
• Woods, Marianne Berger. The New Woman in Print and Pictures: An Annotated Bibliography
