History - Western Civilization: Getting Started

Search through this set of articles to explore ideas and  topics in Western Civilization.  This is a good place to start when you want to explore a topic and see if it works for you.

Try some of these sample searches in our catalog to see what Books, Streaming Videos, and Journals we have on the topics.

"Online Access" means that you can click on it and read it from your device.

A location (like Cascade Library) means it is a physical book that you can come pick up.

"Find and Request" means that it's at another library, but you can submit a request and it will come to PCC.

• Enter a search in the PCC Library search box. 
• If the book you want has a linked message starting with Available at..., and the book is available on your home campus, write down the location and call number.

• If the book is available from another campus, click on the "Request" button in the "Get It" section, (NOTE: You will need to login with your MyPCC username and password after clicking the blue "Sign in" button to see the "Request" button), and specify the campus to which you'd like the book to be sent.

• If the book is not available from PCC, you can order it using the "Get it" buttons to request a physical copy or digital chapters from the book (located in the "Get it from other locations" section). Learn more about requesting library materials.
