The GALILEO notes for World History Collection indicate that " World History Collection contains cover-to-cover full text for more than 130 titles, including many peer-reviewed journals. Full text dates as far back as 1964. These hand-selected information sources cover a wide range of historical topics including anthropology, art, culture, economics, government, heritage, military, politics, regional issues, and more. In addition to the full text, indexing and abstracts are provided for all journals in the collection."

World History Collection is an Ebsco product.
If you can use one Ebsco product you can use them all!

The World History Collection may help genealogists flesh out the people in their family tree.
  • I did a search for a moderately well know Confederate General and three articles were pulled.
  • I did a search for a family member (not a well known historic figure) and nothing came up.

    During the holiday season gather family stories then search through the World History Collection for corroborating information.

    You get the current password to use GALILEO at home from ....your Georgia librarian.
