Eighteenth Century Journals Portal Trial
TU Libraries is currently trialing Eighteenth Century Journals: A Portal to Newspapers & Periodicals, 1685-1815.The Eighteenth Century Journals portal offers seamless access to Sections I and II of the Eighteenth Century Journals collection. The collection itself brings together rare journals printed between 1685 and 1815, illuminating all aspects of eighteenth-century social, political and literary life. Many are ephemeral, lasting only for a handful of issues, others run for several years.
Much of the material included in this collection is rare and also not found in Early English Books Online (EEBO), Early English Newspapers, or Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO).
Topics covered are extremely wide-ranging and include: the writings of Sir Isaac Newton, the French Revolution, reviews of literature and fashion throughout Europe, political debates, and coffee house gossip and discussion.
The trial lasts until August 22nd.
