Some of the textbook for Social Studies 201 is available from this section of the web site. These materials were intended primarily for students in Social Studies 201 at the University of Regina. Others are free to use these materials, but please give appropriate credit if you do so.

Page numbers for some parts of some chapters may not exactly match the page numbers of the printed copies of the text. When constructing this web site version of the text, each file should begin on the same page as the corresponding part of the printed textbook.
