Your preliminary or working bibliography is due at the beginning of class on Feb. 22. It should be at least 2 pages long.
Identify a range of primary sources and secondary accounts you plan to consult while researching your paper. Be sure to place ILL requests for material not available at CU! Provide full citations, properly formatted, and separate primary from secondary material.
