SEARCH HINT:  Most databases use a truncation symbol--sometimes called a wild card--that you can use at the end of your keywords to pick up variant endings of that word.  In most databases, this truncation symbol is the asterisk  *

Use this at the end of a root word to pick up all the endings of the word, e.g., child* will pick up child, children, childhood, childish, childlike, etc.

There are several other databases that you might search. The following are good "general interest" databases, with articles on a wide variety of Humanities and Social Science topics.

This is a guide to resources for images and historical documents that may be used in theatre design. For more resources see the guide THEA 1100: Introduction to Theatre Design.

See the Audio, Video & Images tab of this guide for sources for images.

Tip: Search for items with the term "pictorial works"

But...

You may not find enough historically-accurate images.  Use textual descriptions to fill in the gaps.

Remember, a highly detailed description by a contemporary may be more useful than an image!  Consider researching:

• Travel writings and descriptions
• Scandianvian design
• Art history
• Architectural history
• Scandinavian history (esp. cultural histories)
• Furniture and interior design
• Decorative arts
• Manufacturers
• Handicrafts
• Arts and crafts

The following are just a few of the databases you might try to identify primary documents in History.
