Page v Foreword Many students of history rely on zeal and tenacity to overcome a lack of technical expertise in their daily explorations into the catacombs of the library. Perhaps most people who use the library could save much time and frustration and improve their work if they knew how and where to look for historical material. Indeed, some of us have half-seriously suggested to students in our seminars that they first become librarians and then study to be historians. Fortunately, Helen J. Poulton followed similar advice and acquired advanced degrees in both history and library science. This background enabled her to prepare this volume with precision and authority. The Historian's Handbook: A Descriptive Guide to Reference Works is designed to aid both students and scholars of the social sciences. It surveys a wide variety of the major reference works in all fields of history, as well as important titles in several allied disciplines. An opening chapter on the organization of the library helps make this study a valuable key in the unlocking of a library's secrets. WILBUR S. SHEPPERSON

Page vii Preface The history student is required to find and use widely scattered and often complex materials, such as government documents, archives, and legal works, as well as books, newspapers, and periodicals. This volume attempts to select and list the major reference titles which can help the student and researcher select most efficiently from the thousands of titles the specific ones he needs. It is not a catalog of all the materials that might be useful or relevant to a subject. Many people have helped me, but I wish to express my gratitude in particular to: Quirinus Breen, Professor Emeritus of History, University of Oregon; Angie Debo, formerly of the Oklahoma State University Library; Mrs. Ruth Donovan, Assistant Director, University of Nevada Libraries; Jerome Edwards, Assistant Professor of History, University of Nevada; Mrs. Marguerite S. Howland, Head Documents Librarian and Coordinator, Social Sciences and Humanities Areas, Oklahoma State University Library; James W. Hulse, Associate Professor of History, University of Nevada; Wilbur S. Shepperson, Professor of History, University of Nevada; and James Tigner, Professor of History, University of Nevada. HELEN J. POULTON
