Description
This annotated bibliography is an exceptional resource for students and scholars studying the history and culture of the United States and Canada, from prehistory to the present.
Ongoing since 1964, the America: History and Life database is without question the most important bibliographic reference tool for students and scholars of U.S. and Canadian history and culture from prehistoric times to the present.
Renowned for its depth of coverage, the information in this bibliography is accessible to scholars as well as history buffs. Each year over 1,700 journal titles published worldwide are scanned for relevant articles of special interest to students of U.S. and Canadian history and related fields. The database also includes citations and links to book and media reviews from a selection of over 100 key journals in U.S. and Canadian history. Annually, approximately 16,000 new abstracts and citations to journal articles, book and media reviews, and dissertations are added to the database. Strong English-language journal coverage is balanced by an international perspective on topics and events.
America: History and Life is OpenURL compliant with full-text links to over 219,000 entries. No other research tool matches its currency, scholarly standards, and comprehensive coverage.
