Encyclopedia Britannica

Encyclopedia Britannica is a great first stop for finding information about a new topic.  It has some advantages over Wikipedia:

  • It is easier to understand
  • You are able to choose from 3 levels of information - short simple overviews to longer and more complex articles
  • Britannica comes with audio so you are able to listen to the information as you read it

All the historical events and people can be found in Britannica EXCEPT Ross Barnett
