When you are looking for history resources, try using the 'History' subject guide, listed under the 'Resources by Subject Guide' link on Trent's library webpage.
On the History subject guide, you will find a list of history indexes. These indexes will list articles from magazines, journals and in some cases, newspapers. A good one to try for Canadian topics is 'America: history & life' (despite the name - it does cover North and South America). JSTOR is also another excellent resource.
Below the Indexes, there is a section titled 'Other Online Resources'. This area lists a number of resources that may be useful if you are looking for primary resources . For example, 'Canada's Heritage' is the Globe and Mail newspaper dating back to 1844. Others that may be of interest could include 'Early Canadiana Online', 'OurOntario.ca' and so on - check the description link beside the item to see more information about it.
Remember: if you look in one spot and don't find exactly what you need, keep looking! Try other indexes and/or other search terms.
