The most efficient way to find articles on a topic is to search a database - you can search across many journals at once.
Many history databases also search additional types of secondary literature - book reviews, book chapters, dissertations, etc.
Each database searches different sources; usually you'll want to search several databases.
If you are off campus you will be prompted for your Campus ID/password.
Many databases give you only a citation telling you where to find the article, not the article itself.
There's often a shortcut to the full article text in another database!
Click the Find It @GSU button to open a window with links to the article you need.
If that fails, try searching for the journal title in GIL-Find, or use Interlibrary Loan (ILL) to request it from another library.

Start with these to find secondary source articles on your topic. For more databases, see related research guides or our A-Z database list.
For primary source (generally older) articles, consult the Primary Sources tab above.
These databases focus on specific social-science disciplines. To search more broadly, try the databases in the "Interdisciplinary Articles Databases" box.
You can also use the dropdown "Find by Subject" box in the Articles / Databases tab to identify relevant databases by subject.
Subject-specific research guides can also help you find more databases for your topic.
