| U.S. and World HiC cover every era of human history, from ancient times to the present. These Databases can be searched independently OR together, for a broader search. These tools can be used for courses BEYOND your history class--to research time periods related to the story you're reading in English, to learn about the food cultures of early America, examples of environmental disasters, etc. Browse both broad topics AND search for specific keyword strings. Think outside the box! |
