Spotlight on: Salem History

In recent years, the most popular chronologies have been those published by Salem Press, often referred to as “the decade” series (Call # 973.82).

These volumes are also available digitally.  The library provides access to several Salem titles including the decade series.  Visit Salem History and click on the plus sign + to the right of the word decades.
