ACLS History E-Book Project Adds Titles in African History, Asian Studies, and Comparative/World History

With the recent addition of over 100 new titles in African History, Comparative/World History, and Asian Studies, the ACLS History E-Book Project now includes over 1,000 fully searchable, high-quality books recommended and reviewed by historians, featuring multi-user access, downloadable MARC records, and links to online reviews. The collection is available 24/7, on- and off-campus, and also includes titles in the fields of American History, European History, Middle Eastern History, and the History of Technology.

A growing collection, the History E-Book Project will continue to add 250 titles each year, expanding into the fields of Latin American History, Australasia and Oceania, Byzantium, Methods and Theory, Native Peoples of the Americas, and Women's Studies. The Project is distinguished by the depth of its collection, its powerful search engine, and the quality of its title-selection process.
