Look through ProQuest Dissertations and Theses for publications on your topic. Look at the References/Works Cited section within these documents for lists of resources.

Many videos will also include transcription of the voice. Use "Ctrl-F" to search for terms or names in the transcription to see if your topic is covered in sufficient detail to warrant watching the video.
ALWAYS write down your search terms, good searches, related terms, and failed searches to avoid going in circles.
Several hundred images from the British Library's collections arranged by decade in this interactive resource. One to 10 images per decade from 1215-2008. Thumbnails enlarge and have introductions that describe images briefly and place them in historical context. Five thematic timelines, in addition: politics/power/rebellion; literature/music/entertainment; everyday life; sacred texts; medicine/science/technology. Can select two time lines at once and compare them. Create your own customized timelines.
