List of 1974 Macropædia articles

The Macropædia is the third part of the Encyclopædia Britannica; the other two parts are the Micropædia and the Propædia.

The Macropædia was introduced in the 15th edition (1974) with 4,207 articles; in the drastic reorganization of that edition in 1985, these articles were combined and condensed into roughly 700 articles, ranging in length from 2-310 pages. The articles of the Macropædia are generally written by named contributors and have references, in contrast to the roughly 65,000 articles of the Micropædia that have no named contributor and no references.

The "Number of Pages" entries below have generally been rounded up to the nearest integer.
