ATLASES & ARCHEOLOGY
Bible events happened in historical times and geographical places--part of the incarnational nature of the faith as well as scholarly influence (and popular fascination) with the artifacts of 19th-20th century empiricism! Much cartography, however, is based on interpretations of texts (which may not be historically or geographically precise, intentionally or unintentionally) as well as the best of budding science available to map-makers and archeologists in their day. Therefore, JCBL has a breadth of atlases spanning the last century, most held in Reference and also online, and Reference has several indexes to archeological discussions, much of which can be found more fully expounded in circulation books, articles in specialized journals on archeology as well as online.

Bibliographies
Good for tracking what studies have already been done in an area of interest. Caution: most bibliographies are quite out of date and can be supplemented through newer works-cited lists in more up to date publications or through online database searches. Nonetheless the thorough investigator always checks the full chronology of scholarship, especially becoming familiar with the most frequently cited "classic" studies.
