Encyclopedia Smithsonian: Art to Zoology
Although not strictly a general purpose encyclopedia, the Encyclopedia Smithsonian "features answers to frequently asked questions about the Smithsonian and links to Smithsonian resources on subjects from Art to Zoology." Since there is no search function, the only way to navigate is through the rather eclectic A to Z topic listing. Using your browser Find function to search for specific words (Control-F in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Netscape) might be useful on this long index page. Although the interface is chunky, the content is first rate, so don't let it stop you from exploring what the Smithsonian has to offer.
