Sometimes
we get information from unexpected places – or shall I say less usual places.
For
example, with all the complexity of modern politics, a nice single panel
editorial cartoon will often tell me more than the two page article in the
newspaper.
As we
research our ancestors, we are often seeking to learn more about the context of
the times in which they lived. What
better way than through editorial cartoons!??!
This came to my mind when I read Teaching with Editorial Cartoons (ProQuest).
Of course,
then I had to see if there are collections dedicated to editorial cartoons and
there are quite a few!

I'm sure there are more ... If you know of any other large
collections, let us know.
So, when you next need to learn some history and brevity
will best suit your needs, consider checking out a collection of editorial
cartoons.
Do you know of another type of resource that puts history
into bite-size digestible chunks?
Editor's Note: My family are particular to The Cartoon History of the Universe series by Larry Gonick.
