Europe in the early modern period – a new research solution
Free open trial to ProQuest’s Early European Books available – hurry, access ends Friday 31st August!
Every day in Australian universities, early modern scholars turn to ProQuest’s Early English Books Online as the definitive source of incunabula and early printed works in English. But did you know that Early English Books Online contains only 4% of the printed works published in Europe pre-1600? What of intellectual life beyond?
Users of Early English Books Online can now internationalise their research through ProQuest’s acclaimed new companion resource Early European Books. Through the highest quality digital reproductions of thousand of printed works by important writers and thinkers working in continental Europe pre-1700, Early European Books gives researchers an international overview of early print culture during this vibrant period of history.
Four million pages have so far been scanned in high-resolution colour, including images of all pages, bindings and edges allowing detailed research of each book’s history and provenance. These digital scans have been gathered in a bespoke platform with search capabilities tailored to the needs of the advanced early modern researcher to provide the most detailed research tool for early printed sources available.
ProQuest is delighted to offer ANZAMEMS members a free open trial of Early European Books until Friday 31st August, 2012.
