“We are not makers of history. We are made by history.” ― Martin Luther King Jr.
History is coming from the Greek word ἱστορία, historia, which means knowledge acquired by investigation. It was defined as the study of the past with understanding people’s actions, decisions, interactions and behaviors in a long journey of humanity. For this long journey, we prepared a small guide for Koç University students, faculty, staff and researchers which will assist them with their research. The History Libguide opens pages on the history of the world from the ancient to modern times and focuses on the first permanent settlements and urban centers of the ancient Near East with the Ancient Greek, Roman, Japan, Chinese civilizations. You can also find sources about the Age of exploration, Renaissance and Reformation in Europe, Enlightenment Scientific revolution, French Revolution, Feudal Japan, American Revolution, Nationalism, Industrial revolution and Russian revolution, Great War, Interwar period, World War II and Cold War. This Libguide was curated to assist you by sharing knowledge, by organizing specific resources and by listing useful links, content and webpages, for everyone who wants to discover more on History.
