Welcome to the Encyclopedia of Alabama! The EOA was recently cited as a "Best of Free Reference" by the Library Journal, the library field's leading professional publication. It described EOA as "An excellent example of a well-designed site on the history, culture, and geography of a U.S. state." EOA is a reliable resource covering Alabama's history, culture, geography, and natural environment. Like a traditional encyclopedia, it contains authoritative content based on sound scholarship. The online format, however, makes it a modern reference tool offering video, audio, and graphics that can be updated and expanded. For an introduction to EOA's content, please read historian Wayne Flynt's essay on Alabama. EOA editorial offices are hosted by the College of Liberal Arts at Auburn University.
