More Information
Encarta was a CD-ROM based encyclopedia and dictionary published by Microsoft from 1993 to 2009. It was birthed in the pre-Internet 1990s and was used as a digital reference, most commonly for work and school projects. The program contains articles, pictures, illustrations, videos, sounds, and animations. Encarta eventually met its demise because it couldn't compete with free online encyclopedias like Wikipedia.
