This latest addition to our award-winning series of social studies websites covers human history around the world with an unmatched collection of online reference entries, primary sources, and curriculum materials, from prehistory to the year 1500. Now, along with our existing website, World History: The Modern Era, students can research important events and historical themes in every corner of the globe, from humankind’s ancient origins to the present.

Learn how ancient Egyptians constructed pyramids that still confound contemporary builders, discover the earliest traces of humans in North America, and understand the historic origins of the regional conflicts roiling the world today—all in one place. ABC-CLIO’s World History: Ancient and Medieval Eras website makes exploring questions like these exciting, productive, and fun!

The ABC-CLIO Schools' series of interactive subscription websites challenges students to evaluate historical evidence, interpret current events, and make comparative analyses. The six websites—American Government, American History, State Geography, World Geography, World History: Ancient and Medieval Eras, and World History: The Modern Era—open with relevant news, feature stories, and engaging daily activities. Students can search by text, reference category, period, or region, depending on their abilities, learning styles, and assignments. They can also access subject-specific lessons and activities by time period, place, or concept.
