Global history provides avenues for researching and engaging topics that affect people across the world. To get started, take a look through the recommended access points for scholarly research below. For different kinds of primary sources, take a look at the sub-pages for access points for images, government documents, and other texts by topic.
For a full list of BC Libraries' dictionaries, encyclopedia, bibliographies, and more see the Global History Reference Shelf (tab in subpage menu).
Your local libraries have excellent monographs and anthologies located in O'Neill library as well as through the BC libraries portal. Try searching for books (only books) through the WorldCat library system to see if we have what you need. If we don't, you can order material through Interlibrary Loan (ILL).
For a selection of excellent journals and some e-books on various topics in global history, we recommend a few databases. Remember to explore these database "advanced search" options for date and other modifiers before you run your searches.
