When the" Handbook for Research in American History" was first
published, reviewers called it "an excellent tool for historians of
all interests and levels of experience . . . simple to use, and
concisely worded" ("Western Historical Quarterly") and "an
excellent work that fulfills its title in being portable yet
well-filled" ("Reference Reviews"). The "Journal of American
History" added, "It is not easy to produce a reference work that is
utilitarian and enriching and does not duplicate existing works.
Professor Prucha has done the job very well." This second, revised
edition takes account of the revolution that is occurring in
bibliographic science as printed reference works extend to
electronic databases, CD-ROMs, and online networks such as the
Internet. Focusing on and expanding the major section of the
original Handbook, it provides information on traditional printed
works, describes new guides and updated versions of old ones, notes
the availability of reference works and of some full-text sources
in electronic form, and discusses the usefulness to researchers of
different kinds of material and the forms in which they are
available. Extensive cross-referencing and a detailed index that
includes authors, subjects, and titles enhance the book's
usefulness.
