When you want to find books, specifically, the catalog is the best place to look. The catalog contains the physical and e-book collections of the Kraemer Family Library. For historical research, this includes monographs and edited collections which are some of the most popular resources for historians to use in their resources.
Monographs typically cover one subject in intense depth. It will provide detailed knowledge of specific topic or event. Edited collections are a format the organizes chapters by different authors organized around a central chapter or theme.
Use these call number ranges to "browse" the shelves in the main collection. Note that GES materials span several call number ranges. If you have a specific topic or a title you are looking for, search the catalog using a keyword or title search.
