In addition to our subject guide on History, this is a guide to materials located in the library.
Use the online library catalog to identify and locate books and journals on History in the library. You can search for specific information by author or title, or subject. Search by keyword for a broader search. The Library of Congress Subject Headings, an index located in the reference area, can help you get the most information from your subject searches.(How to use LC's subject headings). Most of the material will be found in the main collection of the McKillop Library on the second floor.
Generally, material on History has call numbers beginning with D, E & F.
See a map for the location in the library for material on History.
The D classification deals with European and World History, the E classification deals with American History and the F classification deals with local American history and the rest of North and South America. The classifications are sub-divided into many aspects of History. For example:
Subject: United States
Topical Subdivision: --History
