Library of Congress Updates "Science Fair" and "Food History" Science Tracer Bullets

Updated: Science Tracer Bullet: Science Fair Projects

Selected sources provide guidance to students, parents, and teachers throughout the process of planning, developing, implementing and competing in science fair activities. Sources range in suitability from elementary to high school levels. This guide updates LC Science Tracer Bullet 01-4. More specialized titles are listed in Space Science Projects (TB 06-3), Environmental Science Projects (TB 97-6), and Science Projects in Biology (TB 93-6). Not intended to be a comprehensive bibliography, this guide is designed--as the name of the series implies--to put the reader "on target."

Updated: Science Tracer Bullet: Food History

Interdisciplinary in nature, the history of food is a subject well suited to research using the Library’s extensive collections of cookery books, scholarly works, and bibliographies on food history. Researchers also often consult additional sources and primary materials including wartime food manuals, serials of all types, travelers’ memoirs, letters and diaries, advertising, exposition guides, and manufacturers’ pamphlets.

This guide, a revision of Library of Congress Science Tracer Bullet 04-1, focuses on works on food history. The intent is to assist researchers in identifying resources and trends in food history studies, through a broad sampling of writings and bibliographies. Rather than being a comprehensive listing, the titles listed here are intended to give an idea of the breadth of information available, with the focus being on works published in English, during the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, and mainly in the United States, though other time periods and areas have occasionally been included. Not intended to be a comprehensive bibliography, this guide is designed--as the name of the series implies--to put the reader “on target.”
