You can find the basic information on your house online in two places. The first is Wikipedia, which is a great place to start initial research. However, as its content is contributed by almost anyone, the quality of its writings varies from article to article, and the accuracy of its information is not guaranteed. The other is Credo Reference, a database that searches 100 e-books simultaneously. It includes authoritative sources, such as the Britannica Concise Encyclopedia and the Thames & Hudson Dictionary of 20th Century Architecture.
By looking at both sources, you should be able to find all the variations of the names, dates, and basic information about your architects.
In the example below, note the two versions of the name and geographic locations.
Search directly in Credo by using the search box below.
After perfoming a search, the links in the Related Resources column will lead you to additonal resources in the library collections. Many of our electronic databases contain full-text articles. You can read more about Credo in our E-books Guide.
