JSTOR is a very large database of journal articles, book, and primary sources that cover many disciplines—social sciences, psychology, healthcare, and engineering. But it also contains a large collection of history research that incorporates the broader themes of the database.
PLEASE NOTE: JSTOR allows you to search for 'all' content and for content 'only available to Derby students.' JSTOR does not provide all its content to Derby students.

The key message, though, is make sure you're thinking about JSTOR when doing research.
