New History Database Trials

By David Murray on November 27, 2006 10:29 AM | | Comments (0)

The Libraries are currently running trials to four history-related databases: British Periodicals; C19: The Nineteenth Century Index; House of Commons Parliamentary Papers; and Periodical Archives Online. I have received lots of positive feedback from faculty on the latter two databases, both of which appear prominently on the history resources "wish list" for 2006-2007. Periodical Archives Online is the full-text, online version of the old Periodicals Contents Index.

It would be very helpful to receive feedback on C19: The Nineteenth Century. Can this database take the place of the currently-subscribed-to 19th Century Masterfile? For good or ill, The Masterfile has a relatively simple search interface.

Please send your feedback on the usefulness of any of these resources to me at dcm@temple.edu.
