History Fair Internet Research Suggestions

Here is a starting point for your research. Make sure you use GOOD websites for your information. Yes, you may search Google, but not all links on Google can be used. If it is .org, .edu, .gov, or .mil you are probably okay. If it is .com or .net make sure you are at a museum, newspaper or magazine site.
