For this assignment, you will search for five (5) websites that are acceptable for use in a college-level history research paper. UMGC library databases (for example JSTOR or other journal databases) are not allowed for this assignment because we worked with them in the Annotated Bibliography. We know that JSTOR, etc., are credible. The Webliography is designed to push you further into the internet to do the hard work of determining degrees of credibility.
Wikipedia, History.com, Thoughtco.com, Medium.com, or any other encyclopedia or wiki-type site like About.com are NOT acceptable, sites that require a subscription are additionally NOT acceptable. Write a paragraph for each website (five total approximately 200-250 words each) in which you describe the contents of each website in detail, and why you think the site is acceptable for use in an academic research paper, using the information you collected from your evaluation of the site. Look for archives, museums, libraries, and foundations.
Complete the following for your annotated webliography:
Provide a complete citation (as you would include it in your bibliography) for the site, including the URL and your date of access. Note that the required style for this class is Chicago Manual of Style.
