Welcome to the American Studies Subject Guide! This guide is designed and intended as a point of departure for research in American Studies. From articles in specific databases, to books in the library catalog, to researching policy development in historical newspapers, this guide will provide you with a starting point for any research project, big or small. Since American Studies is inherently interdisciplinary, some of the resources are focused on other fields such as African American Studies, Art History, Gender and Sexuality StudiesHistory, Literature, Museum Studies, Digital Scholarship, and many more.
