Secondary sources are often, but not always, academic articles, also called peer-reviewed or scholarly articles. The recommended journals and databases here are great places to go to find these types of sources, but they're not the only place.
Try changing your keywords around, using broader or narrower versions, and trying different keyword combinations to see what a database or journal has on your topic. Not sure what keywords to use? Check out the Choosing a Topic tab on this guide.
You can find all our databases at Databases A-Z (including both primary and secondary source databases) as well as our History-specific databases. Remember--your topic may touch on other subject areas, so check out the "Subject" dropdown on Databases A-Z to look at other subject areas.
