You can view library databases which contain primary sources for your subject area through the A-Z Database Tool. At the top of the A-Z Databases List at the link, there are three drop-down menus. In the drop-down menu which says "All Database Types," click the down arrow and select the option "Primary Sources." You can explore the list of databases or filter your results further by navigating to the drop-down which reads "All Subjects," clicking the arrow, and selecting a subject area.

Once you've chosen a database to search, you can typically use the Advanced Search options within the database to narrow down your results to primary sources only. If you need assistance with this, please reach out to a librarian at the Ask a Librarian webpage.
