I would imagine it was harder to get information on topics as you would’ve had to buy/borrow encyclopedias to do.

Were there proprietary predecessor websites?

Tell me about the dark ages!

      We didn’t have encarta either. We would break out the encyclopedia

      And any school project started with the encyclopedia and then a trip to the library for further research.

      When I learned about Wikipedia it was awesome.
