History: United States of America

Linfield University Libraries arranges books by Library of Congress call numbers. Though history is covered in every discipline (e.g., women's history may be located in the women's studies call numbers), the major sections for American history are listed below. These are all located in the Nicholson Library (McMinnville campus) stacks.
