High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Encyclop dia Britannica Eleventh Edition (1910-1911) is a 29-volume reference work, an edition of the Encyclop dia Britannica. It was developed during the encyclopaedia's transition from a British to an American publication. Some of its articles were written by the best-known scholars of the time. This edition of the encyclopedia is now in the public domain, but the outdated nature of some of its content makes its use as a source for modern scholarship problematic. Some articles have special value and interest to modern scholars as cultural artifacts of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
