When working on historical research, obtaining access to
primary source material is important. In
many cases, finding this material can be difficult and time consuming. In an effort to bring some of this rare
primary source material together in a cross-searchable digital format, Gale has
created the Archives Unbound collection. Archives Unbound is a vast new
resource of topically-focused digital collections of historical documents that
support the research and study needs of scholars and students. Specifically
developed to address the needs of libraries, Archives Unbound
is unique not only for its expansive, multi-use content but also for the
distinct new intuitive search platform by which you access it. (source)
Atkins Library has invested in several of these collections
to meet the university’s research need.
We would like highlight one of these collections:
“During the 1930s, U.S. relations with Latin America and the
Caribbean Growing war clouds in Europe and Asia predicated the need for
securing resources and allies in the Western Hemisphere. Giving up unpopular
military intervention, the U.S. shifted to other methods to maintain its
influence in Latin America: Pan-Americanism, support for strong local leaders,
the training of national guards, economic and cultural penetration,
Export-Import Bank loans, financial supervision, and political persuasion.”
