1 U.S. History Survey Recommended Primary Sources for the Writing Assignment All primary sources (also known as documents) listed below are contained within the following series: 1. The Annals of America, Vols The call number is Ref. E.173.A793 (This series contains all the major primary documents from ). Begin with Volume 1. You are encouraged to look through as many volumes (which are based on time periods) as possible, as you will find many primary documents involving the many subjects covered by U.S. history. You may, in fact, find two primary documents to write your paper about that are not on the Recommended Documents list. To locate the Annals, go to the reference section (located in the middle section of the main floor) in the Dunwoody Campus Library, and use the call number listed above. Please note: these are for library use only, and may not be taken outside of the library at any time. Note: The Annals of America were originally published in hardback book form. Later, the publisher, Encyclopedia Britannica, decided to make many (but not all) of the documents available online. These documents can also be viewed on the Georgia State University website. Once you have chosen your two documents from the Annals of American History, you can then print out your copies using the Library printers. Printing the documents from the GSU website provides more legible copies, and is strongly recommended. Note: you can only access Annals of American History through the GSU library site. How to print two documents from the Annals of American History Online series that are located on the GSU website: Write down the names of both of the authors along with the titles of the two documents, then go to a library computer, go to the GSU library home page go to Databases A-Z, click on A; under A: click on Annals of American History, then browse by author or year until you locate your two documents. When printing, be sure to click on Print this Document at the top of each document. If the two documents are not available on this website, then you will need to need to use the Library photocopy machines to make photocopies of each of the documents. Be sure that you photocopy the complete document, especially the introduction to the document (ask the library staff how many free copies GPC students are given for each semester).

2 2. Peter B. Levy, ed., A Documentary History of the Modern Civil Rights Movement (New York: Greenwood Press), This book has been placed on reserve at the circulation (front) desk of the Library (it is for use in the Library only-you may check it for up to two hours at a time). Listed below are the recommended primary document options for this paper. These are suggestions for the various primary documents that can be paired together for this paper. They are each listed in the correct order for analysis (the first primary document you will analyze is listed first, and then the second primary is listed directly below the first). The Volume number directs you to the location of these primary documents. Choose only one pair of primary documents for the entire paper. Only the titles of the documents are listed below, not the complete citations. It is expected that the student will be responsible for properly citing the documents chosen for the paper.
