With the writing component of your seminar in mind, we have compiled a list of useful history databases, resources on the law of war, international law, foreign law, general secondary sources, and tips for undertaking research. These resources are aimed at students in the War and Security in Law, Culture and Society seminar.
If you have any questions, please request a student consult with a librarian using the form linked on the right side of this guide ("Please submit a Student Research Question form")
