"Supporting critical, ethical and global thinking."
The library subscribes to two databases specific to Modern World History; ABC-CLIO and Facts on File. While they cover the same eras, they have different supplemental materials and are organized differently.
Below is some information about how to navigate the database. Click the database icon to open the database in a new tab.
The links below will take you to "topic centers" in the Modern World History database from ABC-CLIO. Topic centers are essentially landing pages for all types of information related to a particular era. I've included links to four eras that cover the events you may choose from for this research paper.

If you do not see your event listed beneath the link, this doesn't mean this database has no information on it! Use the search box to find more reference articles.
