The History Centre @ NUS is a resource for History majors, and for any undergraduate with an interest in learning more about the craft of the historian. How do you develop your ideas from a topic of interest – a broad area-  to a feasible essay (or dissertation) topic? Being familiar with the scholarship and sources available is an important step. From here you can begin to frame your own research questions and ideas. This site provides a guide to many online sources and is a great starting place for historical endeavors.

Take time to immerse yourself in primary sources. Sometimes the sheer volume of materials may seem overwhelming but exploring these archives is a richly rewarding and exciting exercise!
