HIST 4463: The French Revolution: Liberty and Death, 1789-1804

This guide is intended as a research resource that you will use and return to as often as necessary while you conduct independent historical investigations for HIST 4463: The French Revolution: Liberty and Death, 1789-1804. It provides both access to general resources about the French Revolution and guidance for finding primary sources. 

If you get stuck or find yourself in need of a little more assistance than this guide offers, please do not hesitate to make an individual research appointment with myself or another reference librarian.
