How to conduct proper historical research using the Internet…

Should you use Wikipedia to conduct your research?

Can you think of any examples of sites that would be considered

“good” research sites?

Questions to ask when considering a site…

What does the URL (the address of the website or Internet file) tell you?

Is it somebody’s personal page? Look for a personal name following a tilde (~) a % sign of the words “users” “members” or “people”

What type of domain does it come from?Government sites: .gov; .milEducational sites: .eduProvince/Country codes: .ca; .on; ;qc; .uk*these are not always controlled

Questions to ask when considering a site…Look at the author of the page

Is the author a person, organization, group, etc.

Are credentials listed?*in history especially you want to avoid

hobbyists and self-proclaimed experts!How up-to-date is the page? Is the information

“stale” (does this affect your research?) Look at the content of the page

Does the information seem correct, is it organized logically?

Is the page a rant, extreme view, personal opinion?

Some potentially useful sites…CBC Archives: http://archives.cbc.ca/ Canadian Military History Gateway: http://www.cmhg.gc.ca/html/index-eng.asp Library & Archives Canada: http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/index-e.html

o Flickr - go to "advanced search" and select "only search within creative commons" at: http://www.flickr.com
