Encyclopedia of Alabama

What Encyclopedia of Alabama is

Encyclopedia of Alabama is a free web reference resource covering Alabama history, culture, geography, and the natural environment. Its articles range across people, events, sports, art, literature, industry, government, plant and animal life, agriculture, and recreation. Contributors from academic scholars to field scientists write or adapt articles specifically for the Encyclopedia, and the site says new material is added regularly. Articles may include multimedia, including material from organizational partners. Readers can search and browse by categories, articles, authors, events, organizations, people, places, collections, galleries, and quick facts. Collections group related entries around important subjects in Alabama history, people, and culture; image galleries connect visual material to related articles. Citation tools and educator resources are available. Content may be reproduced for noncommercial educational purposes with appropriate citation and credit. Commercial reproduction requires prior permission, granted case by case. Auburn University administers the editorial office through its Office of University Outreach in partnership with University Libraries.
