I would imagine it was harder to get information on topics as you would’ve had to buy/borrow encyclopedias to do.
Were there proprietary predecessor websites?

also libraries and they usually did not allow encyclopedias to be loaned out so that they were always available to people doing research. there was a section of books like that which were on site only use.
