Many Humanities IV students locate research topics using the U.S. history chronicles located in the library’s reference room (Call # 973.8 – 973.9).
In recent years, the most popular chronologies have been those published by Salem Press, often referred to as “the decade” series (Call # 973.82).
These volumes are also available digitally. The library provides access to several Salem titles including the decade series. Visit Salem History and click on the plus sign + to the right of the word decades.
Select your chosen decade and view the table of contents for a browseable and absorbing list of events.
