Research Guidance

Make a research visit count

Start with one question about Warwick and the evidence you hope to find. The details shared by The Warwick Advertiser can help frame it; contact the institution to confirm visit arrangements before making plans. Note which detail you hope to check and what remains uncertain, without assuming a source confirms a connection.

Check whether the collection description names a relevant title or date range. An incomplete description or unsuccessful search does not establish that a record never existed. Write down what you searched and what the description covers; if another source is suggested, ask what details to use when requesting it.

Keep the title, date, page, or item reference with each useful finding. Separate the words in a historical account from your interpretation, and note conflicting perspectives rather than choosing one too quickly. These notes help connect a local story to its evidence and show what remains uncertain. Note which details were confirmed and which remain open; a catalog description is not the same as the source it describes. Keep both points with the reference you plan to check.

It’s Your Community’s History, So Why Rent Something You Own?

We believe that history belongs to the communities where it was made - not locked behind paywalls or inaccessible due to budget restrictions. Subscription-based services and large content aggregators are generally more concerned with "content" and less concerned with the history that content contains. Their models typically involve a reoccurring charge for a plan that renews annually or licensing agreements with the library based on population served or circulation numbers. You are essentially Renting Access To YOUR History.
