JSTOR
JSTOR is a vast archive of academic journals and History is one of its biggest collections. I've linked to JSTOR's advanced search so you can limit by discipline. Also, you can limit your searches to research articles, useful because JSTOR has loads of book reviews that may otherwise clutter your search results.
Project Muse
Muse is not as deep as JSTOR but it has 25 unique med-ren journals and 92 in History generally. In other words, be sure to search both JSTOR and Muse.

Finding Full Text in EMB & BBIH

The EMB and BBIH bibliographies contain citations of full-text articles, and only sometimes link to the article externally. Whenever a full-text external link is unavailable, try these steps:

Search part of the article title in Google Scholar. Remember to add Coates/Trinity to your library links.
Search the title in Google using quotation marks to return exact matches. Add the file operator to search for PDFs in particular. You may be able to find "wild" copies, e.g., one published on an author's personal web page
- Example: "pastoral care and rhetoric in early Anglo-Saxon letters to kings" file:.pdf
Search the title in the library's OneSearch mega-database
