Encyclopedia Britannica's Guide to Black

VIVA users have access to Encyclopedia Britannica's Guide to Black
History website.

This website was recently updated and presents a vast array of articles,
hundreds of images, and a wide assortment of audio clips,
film clips, and multimedia presentations. The timeline traces two
millennia of black history, and the browse features enable you to
pinpoint the central people, places, topics, and events covered in black
history. Our image and multimedia galleries provide snapshots of
black culture throughout the ages.

You can access the website by opening Britannica Online and scrolling to
the bottom of the homepage where there is a link to Britannica
Spotlights archive (http://search.eb.com/spotlights). The Guide to Black History is the third selection.
