Start with secondary source readings (books and articles) to get an overview of the subject, then visit the SSC and talk to a reference archivist. She can help you focus your topic and find relevant primary sources. If you wish, you can first browse the SSC Web site to see what the major subject areas are. Start with the Subject Guides (note: More subject guides are available in the SSC than are on the Web site). If you are unable to visit you can email a reference request.
