Some of your fires are going to be quite obscure, not widely studied, or perhaps too new to have lots of scholarly studies done on them (this generally applies to fires within the last 5 years).
Here's help! These search tips apply for searching nearly any of the databases listed on this page:
Don't hesitate to contact me (see right) for help with your specific fire.
You can do a basic, broad search of almost all of the articles we have, using Research @ UWW -- Articles on our homepage.
Alternately, Google Scholar is an even bigger search. Not all of the articles are full-text, though -- use the directions on the Google Scholar tab to link to UW-W and see what we have subscriptions to.
These are both very big searches and you will probably have to filter through many results.
Or, use the following Library databases to find articles related to your topic:
A complete bibliographic reference to the history of the United States and Canada from prehistory to the present. Indexes over 2,000 English-language journals published worldwide.
Coverage varies by publication but typically begins with volume one of each title and continues to within 3 to 5 years of the most current issue.
Partial funding for Collections V and VI from the Russell Moratz estate. Partial funding for Collection VII provided by Student Technology Fees.
A multidisciplinary database with citations to thousands of journals, books, and published proceedings in the sciences, social sciences, and arts and humanities.
This resource also tracks how many times an article has been cited since publication, finds relevant items which share one or more cited references, reviews cited references that link to a full record display, and searches all cited authors.
Federal and state court cases, statutes, & regulations; law reviews & journals; legal research encyclopedias; and some international legal resources, company information, and news.
