It might be helpful if you could be more specific of what you were
looking for... theses available in journals, online? Lists of suspects
for historical present?
It's rather helpful that English itself commonly uses historical
present as a narrative device:
"Get a load of this. Yesterday, I was walking down the hall, and I saw
Julia. And she looks the other way, as if she doesn't even recognize
me! Can you believe that?"
HTH,
