Western Standard Publishing

Since 1997, Western Standard Publishing has sought to collect and publish electronically the great works of people who have made breakthroughs in human thought or knowledge. This extensive collection includes original source documents on history, politics and government, philosophy, religion, science, the social sciences, as well as the original work of great literary figures from around the world.

Our goal is to better meet the research needs of students and teachers in K-12 schools and at the collegiate level by making our collection accessible to all computers in the instituion's network. In addition, our collection provides an everyday, up-to-date primary source research tool for librarians, teachers, and the general public. Universities and K-12 schools can access this rich collection through our partnership with the two greatest general reference names on earth: World Book Encyclopedia and Encyclopaedia Britannica.
