Subject Guides & Selected Bibliographies
These subject guides and selected bibliographies have been prepared by Special Collections librarians to suggest primary sources in the University of Delaware Library which are available to support a variety of research topics. A number of these selective bibliographies were prepared at the request of faculty for specifically focused classes.
In addition to the guides listed below, researchers may want to consider the variety of subjects presented in the Library's online exhibitions. Many of the detailed finding aids to manuscripts, visual materials, and other collections are available on this Website, and access to bibliographic descriptions of printed collections is available through the Library's online catalog, DELCAT.
