are very broad-based, general resources that are used only in the
earliest stages of research when the researcher is seeking an overview
of a topic or is attempting to narrow an overly broad topic. In the
context of college-level research assignments, they are merely gateway
resources and as such, should not be used in place of in-depth,
substantive sources. See the other tabs for a selection of books,
databases, and websites that offer more detailed, focused information as well as primary source access. Specialized encyclopedias devoted to European History are often an overlooked resource for the researcher who is in the earliest stages of a research project.
