From Afghanistan to Zimbabwe

Doing research on different countries, for school, travel or just want to know more? We have a couple of great databases for you. Global Road Warrior and Culturegrams are great sources of information about countries and their cultures.

Global Road Warrior takes an in-depth look at countries around the world. It includes a wide range of topics like education, music, currency, culture and food; along with hot topics like human rights and religion. This is a great database for research and reports on the culture and lifestyles of different countries. 

Culturegrams provides a basic overview of each country including population, history, and cultural information. They also have fun resources like recipes, famous people and pictures. You can even hear the national anthems and the official name of the country. 

So, next time you are doing a report or preparing for a trip use Global Road Warrior and Culturegramswww.slcl.org > Research > Geography and Travel
