I am researching the history of clothing in 18th century France.

Answer

Start with the HISTORICAL ABSTRACTS database. This can be located by clicking on the gray Databases tab on the UHD Library home page (https://www.uhd.edu/library), clicking on the letter H, and then scrolling down to identify the database. 

Before you start the search, go to the “limit your results” section below the search box. Change the language to English. Then, under “Historical Period from”, put 1700 in the first box and 1799 in the second box. Then start your search. 

Try this search:

(clothing or fashion or costume) AND france

 

You may also try Libsearch, the search box on the library's home page. It's a Google-like way to search our library’s collection. Use the same keywords.

 

You may also find a lot of material in books. Start with the library catalog at http://uhd.edu/library . Click on the gray "Catalog" tab and search for:
