History majors, take note! We are excited to share our newest resource.
And by "history" we also mean Art, Religion, Sociology and Political historians as well!
Our major database provider, EBSCO, is partnering with American Antiquarian Society (AAS), the premier library documenting the life of America's people from the Colonial Era through the Civil War and Reconstruction, to provide digital access to the most comprehensive collection of American periodicals published between 1684 and 1912.The collection is divided into five parts:
- Series 1 contains more than 500 titles dating from 1684 through 1820.
- Series 2 is a collection of periodicals from 1821 to 1837 and represents the Jacksonian Democracy era in history and is broad in scope including agriculture, entertainment, history, literary criticism, and politics.
- Series 3 covers the time period from 1838 to 1852.
- Series 4 rages from 1853 to 1865 focuses on the Civil War and a diverse record of the continuance of daily life for many Americans—both leading up to and during the war.
- Series 5, from 1866 to 1912, reflects a nation that persevered through a difficult set of circumstances and provides overage of broad subject areas that reach into every facet of American life.
