Description
This annotated bibliography is an exceptional resource that covers the history of the world (excluding the United States and Canada) from 1450 to the present, featuring coverage of academic historical journals in over 40 languages since 1955.
History and social science researchers have used Historical Abstracts to discover significant and groundbreaking work for over 50 years. No other research tool matches its currency, scholarly standards, and comprehensive coverage.
Historical Abstracts provides an unmatched breadth of coverage of historical and related social science literature. Special emphasis is placed on the inclusion of English-language journal articles and book titles published throughout the world. Each year over 1,700 journal titles published worldwide are screened for articles of interest to historians and key English-language history and review journals are examined for books related to historical study. In all, over 20,000 new abstracts and citations to journal articles, books, and dissertations are added to the database annually.
