Historical Research is Hard

  • Summary

  • I'm writing a historical novel, and research is tough! Just when I think I've done enough, I'm told I can do more. Here are some solutions that I found really worked for me. 


    1. Look for old footage on YouTube from that time period


    2. Find old pictures, if cameras were invented in the time period you're writing in


    3. Read books and watch movies that were made during that time, not just set during the time


    4. Look for old newspaper articles also set in that time. I love OldMagazineArticles.com. Check out your library for free databases, microfilms, and other resources
