Need an international perspective?

  4. Search the topic in this search bar with the appropriate key words from the foreign language (discovered in step 1).
  5. You can use Google translator to read in English.

Want to know who publishes a site?

  1. Go to easywhois.com and paste in the website you want to cite.

    • Registrant Name: Don Black 
    • Registrant Organization: Stormfront
  4. Do a Google search for these terms to see what comes up.
  5. In this case, martinlutherking.org is run by a white nationalist group-- scary.

Looking for a digital primary source? Or exactly what someone said or did years ago? 

  1. ​Go to Archive.org
  2. Enter the short version of the website you want to see archives of (ie. CNN.com).
  3. The chart at the top gives you all the years this site was active.
  4. Click on the year you want (ie. 2001).
  5. Wait for the screen to refresh to the year, then select the date that you want (ie. September 11).
  6. You will now be viewing the website as it looked on that date.
