Journal articles on Indian history can be found in the following
journals:
Asian Survey
Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies
Journal of Asian Studies
Journal of Modern History
Journal of World History
Southeast Review of Asian Studies
Browsing, however, is not the best approach to locating books on a particular
topic. Some of the indexes to use are:
Humanities Abstracts
Periodical Abstracts
Social Sciences Abstracts
Historical Abstracts
International Political Science Abstracts
The first three sources are available online via Galileo, the Georgia online
library of databases covering various subjects.
GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS
Government publications are particularly useful for materials dealing with
U.S. foreign relations with India and other countries, trade agreements and
co-operative arrangements. Sources for useful documents are as diverse as the
Department of Agriculture, the State Department, and various committees of Congress.
Many of these are listed in the Ingram Library Online Catalog.
ATLASES
The atlas shelves in the Reference area on the main floor of the Ingram
Library contain a good selection of current and historical atlases. Some atlases use
alpha-numeric coordinates. Others use latitude and longitude to give locations.
