Encyclopedia Britannica

Picture
The Encyclopedia Britannica, unlike Wikipedia, is actually a centuries-old, well-established and respected printed encyclopedia which educators and professionals alike consider reliable and trustworthy. The Encyclopedia Britannica broke into electronic publishing in the 1980's, and if you are writing a research paper or working on a project that requires reliable research, this is the place to go for it.
