Write an Annotated Bibliography

Good historical research, we have found in the class, takes multiple perspectives into account and positions itself in ongoing scholarly conversations through empirical methods, primary source analysis, and historiography. The topic is entirely up to you, and can be related to one of your first two papers if you choose.
The bibliography should contain the following:

– An introductory essay (about 1 page in length), ESTABLISHING the significance of your historical topic, controversy, or concept and FRAMING your approach

– At least 3 primary sources, annotated

– At least 3 PRINT secondary sources, annotated (preferably university-press book or peer-reviewed journal articles. Even if accessed online these still “count” as print sources)
– Wikipedia cannot be one of your sources

WHAT MAKES THIS ASSIGNMENT DIFFERENT: YOU ARE NOT ACTUALLY WRITING THE PAPER!, you’re just collecting the sources and commenting on them. Each source needs to have a complete Chicago Style bibliography entry (refer back to Mary Lynn Rampolla’s Text book (A Pocket Guide to Writing in History) for how to do this if you’re unsure), and an explanatory paragraph (the “annotation”) setting the source within the context of your research question and explaining its significance and contribution to the topic. Make sure to include analysis of how the authorship and context of production (among other factors) shape the content of the source and how it might fit into your research project. In other words, you should do more than simply summarize what is in the sources, but instead critically analyze the sources within the context of your research. You should also tie together your source annotations into a kind of narrative, rather than simply a loose collection or list of sources. Your bibliography represents the culmination of your learning and thinking from the whole semester, and should showcase your understanding of how to frame a research inquiry and interpret the sources you find.
