• Methods used by libraries, archives, museums, etc. to organise collections are bound to their collections but not to the larger Web

Linked Data
We would suggest search strategies for you but a comprehensive listing ofresources would be beyond the scope of this service. To begin with,perhaps you can use the references in relevant books as a starting point toguide you to the right articles…..
I am doing research on Singapore Port, about how the Singapore Governmenthelped in setting the targets, bringing stability to the port, enforced the policies thathelped to direct the port towards its prosperity now. The years I am focusing are from1960s to the early 1990s. The materials I want to consider are mainly newspaperarticles and some books.
