| NEWLY REVISED! Computers have revolutionized the way you can research your antiques and collectibles. If you're looking for a manufacturer who is still working, for instance, you can often find the company online. If the maker is no longer in business, you might find help from other collectors and dealers if you do an Internet search. Databases like Nexus and Infotrac, available at public or university libraries, cite or quote articles on all kinds of topics from all kinds of publications. And information previously available only in thick volumes on library reference shelves are now sometimes available via specialized databases or CD-ROMs. Still, much of the research you do to find information about antiques and collectibles will involve searching for and reading good old-fashioned books. That's why this leaflet includes a list of the books we have found most helpful in doing our own research. And remember, libraries have additional printed sources, like city directories, government and corporate documents, and local newspaper clipping files, that are not always available online. |
