Add Google’s Ngram Viewer to Your List of Research Tools

The Ngram Viewer will let you compare the use of several words or names in one graph. The example that I give up this video is to compare using the terms “National Parks,” “National Forests,” and “National Forest Service.” By taking a look at the Ngram Viewer for those terms I can see that they begin to appear more regularly around 1890, have a lull in the 1940s and 1950s, and then appear more often once again in the 1960s..
Ngram Viewer is based upon books indexed in Google Books. That is why below every chart produced by Ngram Viewer you will discover a list of books about each of your search terms. Those books are organized by date..
A 3rd part of Ngram Viewer to note is that it deals with several languages including English, French, Chinese, German, Italian, Russian, Hebrew, and Spanish..
