History

Encyclopedias & Dictionaries

Encyclopedias and dictionaries provide concise background information (dates, events, terminology) which can then be used as search terms for finding additional information. Use the short bibliographies that are often at the end of the entries to jump to more information on the topic. Use the WSU Libraries databases linked below to search across hundreds of databases containing encyclopedias and dictionaries.
