__**History **__ (Holly Bunt) Library Quick Tip #3  Hello History Department, When I attended the History Department meeting on October 25th, the MWH teachers were meeting with Diccon. During the course of the meeting, the topic of good resources for historical maps was discussed. I told the group that I would like into this for them. After leaving the meeting, I sent out a request on the library listservs asking for suggestions of databases or websites for historical maps. I received several responses. I’ve put the materials I gathered together into two lists. The first is a list of websites that you will find attached to this e-mail. The second is a list of databases that I will send in a separate e-mail. I would like to give you some time to explore these websites. I will follow up with you in a few weeks to ask your thoughts and opinions about them. Plan to let me know if you feel any of these websites should be eliminated (too young, etc.) from the list. Once you determine which websites work the best for you, we can post the URLs on a LibGuide so you and your students can readily access them. Also I would love to know if you have additional websites that are not on my list. We can add these to the LibGuide so send them along. Happy Exploring!
