SUNY Fredonia uses the Library of Congress Classification System (LCC) to assign call numbers to most print materials--books, periodicals, and music scores.
The Library of Congress Classification System is divided into large subject areas which are called "classes." All classes--and subclasses--begin with one, two, or three letters followed by a number which represents more specific aspects of a subject.
This page shows you how to read a call number and lists call number ranges for history materials.
Books on history have call numbers starting with D 1 and ending with F 3799:
| LC Call Numbers | Description |
|---|---|
| D1→ 2027 | History (General) |
| D55 → 90 | Ancient History |
| D111 → 203 | Medieval History |
| D(204)→ (475) | Modern History, 1453- |
| D900 → 2009 | Europe (General) |
| E11 → 143 | America |
| E151→ 889 | United States |
| F1 → 975 | United States Local History |
| F1001 → 1145.2 | Canada |
