Additional Online Resources

 

The items listed above are merely a fraction of the historical resources available on-line.

Students doing historical research should familiarize themselves with the scholarly riches

available through the Auraria Library, the Denver Public Library, the Colorado Historical

Society, and the Library of Congress. For example, the Denver Public Library

Western History Collection includes thousands of photographs on-line. The Colorado

Digitization Project allows scholars to search tens of thousands of pages of Colorado

newspapers. The Auraria Library subscribes to many databases such as JSTOR.

 

Do not assume that because you do not find a resource using Google that it does not

exist. Proprietary databases available to MSCD students on-line through the Auraria

Library may not show up on Google, or, if they do, may involve fees that may not be

applied if accessed through the Auraria Library.
