The history collection at the University of Calgary supports the teaching and research needs of the B.A. and M.A.and PhD programs at the University of Calgary. It also supports research requirements from many related disciplines and the local community. 

Historical studies often require a researcher to use materials from other disciplines such as politicalscience, archaeology, anthropology; or other formats such as maps, archival materials, museum collections and the like.  This guide will only cover those bibliographies, reference sources and materials that are primarily history and you may need to use other guides on this site or visit other service points. Please do not hesitate to contact the history librarian, any of the other subject librarians or service points for additional research support.
