These databases offer a variety of resources for the study of history from ancient days to the current era. (reference library, picture library, video library, web gateway, student guides, and study units)
Articles from over The New York Times (going back to 1851), LA Times (going back to 1881) and The Chicago Defender (from 1910 to 1975)
Great for searching recent historical events, like the Gulf Oil Spill, or the increase in tornados in the southern United States
