Core 4: The Shaping of the Modern World is the department's basic introductory course to the development of modern world civilization since the Scientific Revolution.

In addition to textual sources, graphic images from the past can contribute to our understanding of events and developments.

On these pages we present a series of images keyed to the various periods covere in a typical Core 4  Syllabus.

The Banner at the head of this page enables you to jump from one index to another by selecting one of the eight main indices. When you select an index, the index of all pictures related to that period will be loaded (on the left of the current text), and you can select each picture.

Please note that the pictures have been "squeezed" so that they will fit - more or less, into one window in your browser. But you can see them in larger size by choosing (in Netscape) the "view image" option.

The Core 4 Collection of Images  is a project of Brooklyn College History Department using picture files collected over many years by  faculty members. We believe that in all cases copyright is held by the Department. Any copyright infringement is unintentional, and if brought to our notice, will be remedied immediately. [Hard copy letters should be sent to: History Department, Brooklyn College, Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, New  York, 11210.]

Design of the Core 4 Collection of Images was undertaken by
 Donald Gerardi and Paul Halsall.
