Anthropology - Encyclopedias & Handbooks

There are too many encyclopedias on various aspects of anthropology to list here. Go to NUcat to search for them in the "Guided Search" mode using combinations of appropriate terms, such as "encyclopedia" or "dictionary" or "handbook" and "Indian" [or the name of a culture or topic]. When you find a good title, go to the "Long View" of NUcat, scroll down, and click on the link "Library of Congress subject headings", which will then lead you to other relevant titles.

Here are a few of the more general-coverage encyclopedias in the Main Reference Department.
