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?

    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.
