This document provides guidance on researching artifacts and strategies for finding relevant sources. It recommends searching for articles about the artifact's theme, related themes, synonyms, background information, and portrayals in similar works. However, it notes that only 3% of artifacts will have articles written directly about them. Alternative source types and databases are suggested. Tips for properly formatting citations in MLA style are also provided.
