Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

As we near the end of National Transportation Week, we thought it may be interesting to explore what GALILEO offers on transportation. (Note: Some links may not work off site. Click the database name for access.)

Encyclopaedia Britannica includes articles, images, videos, and more on transportation; the many forms of it, such as automobiles, boats, ships, airplanes, balloons, and bicycles; and the infrastructure which supports it, such as roads, bridges, waterways, harbors, lighthouses, and tunnels.

Science and Technology Collection includes research articles on many transportation topics.

Find out about the history of transportation and the development of transportation vehicles and infrastructure in History Reference Center, Annals of American History, and World History Collection.

The New Georgia Encyclopedia includes articles on transportation by land, sea, and air in Georgia.

Finally, find historical photos of planes, trains, automobiles, bicycles, boats, trucks, cars, railroads, wagons, and other aspects of transportation in the Digital Library of Georgia.
