Pathfinders: Home

Welcome to the Pathfinders Research Guide! 

This is the perfect place to start when working on research or starting to look into a particular subject.  As more research is done and the archives are further explored, more information will appear on this research guide.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Special Collections staff!

How this guide works:

On this homepage, you will find PDFs of written pathfinders.  On the tabs at the top of the guide are online pathfinders that incorporate links, articles, videos, and other multimedia materials for your research.

What are pathfinders?

'Pathfinder' is the term used when talking about a created report that leads patrons/users to topical materials to help research.  For example, the Indian Boarding School Pathfinder includes items within the Special Collections, online resources, and other materials that will help future users to have a starting place and find some core materials.
