U.S. Twentieth Century Women’s Sport Artifact Project – Annotated Bibliography Synopsis For your proposal, you introduced your artifact. For your final project, you will analyze your artifact. Historical analysis includes putting your artifact in its historical context and explaining its significance. The purpose of this annotated bibliography is to provide structured exploration of academic resources that will help you with your analysis. After completing your annotated bibliography, you should understand what historians have previously written about people, events, and historical contexts that relate to your artifact. You will have a solid foundation for writing your own historical analysis. Points This annotated bibliography is worth 20 points: • Selection and presentation of academic articles/books: 2 points • Detailed annotations: 18 points o Summary of each article/book: 6 points o Analysis of each article/book: 6 points o Application of the article/book to your project: 6 points Overview Annotated bibliographies help you gather and summarize information about the historical context, people, and events surrounding your artifact. Furthermore, they serve as a quick reference sheet which will remind you of what your various sources argued and how they will be useful to your final project. They should be relatively short, you will need to condense the main ideas and arguments into just a few sentences. You must include at least 6 academic sources (2 may be from class). For each of your annotations you will include four things: A full citation in either MLA or APA style. A summary of the author’s main arguments: Like your reading responses, please include the author’s main points, the evidence they use, historical events they examine, and their conclusions (2-4 sentences) An analysis of the author’s theory and method: Like your reading responses, please include an examination and evaluation of the author’s arguments. How do they discuss the historical context? What kinds of insights did you gain from the article/book? (2-4 sentences) A discussion of how you will apply the arguments, theory, and/or method to your analysis: Please synthesize the author’s main ideas and arguments. Establish connections between their ideas and your ideas. How will their arguments help you analyze your artifact? (2-4 sentences) Finding articles/books/book chapters The resources you use in your historical analysis must be academic sources. That means they must be from a peer reviewed journal (e.g. Choi), a chapter from an edited book (e.g. Vertinsky), or a book- length historical project (e.g Cahn). To find academic sources, you can search through the library, search academic databases, or search sport-specific databases. To search the library’s holding: go to the library home page. Scroll down to the search box. You can do a OneSearch that will search all the library materials. Alternatively, you can limit your search by using the “books” or “articles” tabs. Feel free to use the chat function if you are having trouble! Librarians are happy to help you, and they are good at search terms/being creative to find resources. It might be useful for you to search specific databases that focus on your topic area or historical context. These databases are collections of journals and resources specific to fields of study or topics. You can access databases through the library too! Just go to the Databazes A-Z page. From there you can browse different databases. Some that might be useful for you: Academic Search Complete; Gender Watch; Project Muse; Sport Discus. Like with finding your artifact, LA84 has a nice collection of historical materials. ** Most databases will have an option to search only for peer-reviewed articles. You may have to go to their advanced search page. ** Finding resources can be a fun but also frustrating venture. Try different search terms to see what comes up. Many articles have keywords, so if you find an article that is useful, you might try to search those keywords to find others. Additionally, look in their reference sections – they will have used references that are related to your topic. ** Don’t just pick the first article that comes up. Take some time to explore and find articles / book chapters / books that are closely related to your topic. Your analysis will be better (AND EASIER!!!) Guiding questions to help you as you read articles You do not need to answer these in your annotated bibliography, but they are helpful for you in summarizing, analyzing, and thinking about how you might use them.
