KFL has online databases that contain collections of primary and secondary sources. There are limitations to our primary source databases, but they can be a great place to start some of your primary source research. As a student you know that you have access to these resources through KFL and you don't have to worry about things like paywalls or needing a unique login.
Use this guide to search find databases associated with your research topic. Each database will have a short description too to help you determine if that database will meet your needs. All databases are organized a little differently so spend some time exploring to determine if any of the materials available will be useful to you.
These groupings aren't all inclusive. We also have a comprehensive list of our Primary Source Databases.
If you are struggling to find what you need through KFL's holdings, look through the suggestions on the Digital Archives pages or reach out to your liaison librarian for assistance.
Just because an item is in an archive, even a digital one, copyright still applies. You should always cite the archive in your research paper or other research project.
You should also ask before republishing something found in an archive. You may need to obtain permission to reprint or republish the material.
Archival citations vary, but good examples of citing archives can be important to see.
