IBUKI has collected together and indexed electronic (mostly PDF) editions of primary sources, books, articles and study guides for history, science and literature.
These works are not organized by what they are called (encyclopedia, dictionary, ...) but rather the nature of their entries. So a work only containing Biographies is under 'Biographies' even if it calls itself a 'dictionary'.
