Databases are full of information that's already been evaluated by experts, so they're a great place to start your research! Once you open the list of databases, it's usually best to pick a database and search them one at a time. See suggestions below (more coming soon).
These databases are funded jointly by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners and the Massachusetts Library System, so you can access them for free.
The Boston Public Library also has an extensive collection of online resources.
