I tend to depend heavily on primary sources, unless the topic I'm writing about is obscure. Internet Archive, Google Books, and HathiTrust are my main sources for primary texts. Open Library's ebook-lending program and Bookshare (an e-library for people who can't easily read print) are where I go for secondary sources. And I love Internet Scout; it has been tracking academic-related websites for decades and has them all carefully categorized by topic.

Other than that, I do a lot of keyword searching, centered on museums, historical societies, universities, etc. If I add site:.edu to a keyword search on Google, only the educational websites show up, so the results are more likely to be what I want.
