World History

World history is the focus of this libguide. Programs in the history field prepare students for transfer to four year programs in the California State University systems for majors, baccalaureates, or preparation for Master’s degrees. History degrees can lead to future employment such as writers, authors, editors, postsecondary teachers, high school teachers, archivists, curators, museum workers, social science or humanities researchers, and cultural resource managers or policy analysts. The library supports student success in these programs by providing selected resources. 

Library Materials

Many useful resources are available in the College of the Redwoods Library, including books, reference books, eBooks, and videos. Additional resources may be available at the Del Norte or Humboldt County Libraries and Cal Poly Humboldt Library. Visit those libraries' websites to search their catalogs. Use OneSearch to find books and other resources about your topic in the CR library and selected, college-level resources on the web.

If you are off campus, or if you are using a wireless device while on campus, you may be prompted to login with your CR email address and password to get into the library's subscription databases or eBooks. Remote login is required to prove that you are a student at College of the Redwoods, because the library pays for student, faculty, and staff access for these resources based on our student enrollment. (Login is not required if you are using a computer connected to the main campus network.)
