What is the InfoBase?

The InfoBase is a vast repository of human knowledge. Anyone is free to add to it or view it. We don't believe in ads or junk, so you won't find any here. Just good old information.

You can search the InfoBase with the search box on your right. Underneath it are links to the four main categories: Art, Science, Life, and World. You can also share your knowledge with the world when you contribute to the InfoBase. Just select a topic to write about and you'll receive a place on the Internet to share your knowledge. If you have any problems, feel free to email us. So get going! Contribute to and view the InfoBase!
