Wanderings of a Librarian

Decades of the twentieth century

American Cultural History: The Twentieth Century is a series of subject guides describing each decade in the twentieth century. There are quick fact boxes at the top of each page and information about the decade divided into sub-topics like Art and Architecture and Fads and Fashion. Many links are provided to other web sites and most sections have reading lists for print material available at Kingwood College Library, although many of the books are probably widely held by other libraries. It's amusing to scroll down each page just to look at the illustrations--some are from the librarians' family photo collections.

I learned about this resource when Aimee C. Quinn posted a complimentary message about it on the GOVDOC-L email list server.     #
