This LibGuide is dedicated to making Butler University students, staff, and faculty more aware of the digital primary source databases available through the library’s website. The library subscribes to many of these sites so that students and researchers may have digital access to otherwise inaccessible documents. This LibGuide categorizes the specific databases based on the general provider of the databases, information about how to use primary sources, and which librarian to contact with any research questions.
