- Description
- Historical Abstracts is a comprehensive bibliography for material on the history of the
world from 1450 to the present. It
covers all countries and regions, excluding the United States and Canada (for those countries, see
America: History and Life). Coverage includes historical and
related social science literature. A special emphasis is placed upon the inclusion
of English-language journal and book titles published throughout the world. Each year over 1,700
journal titles published
worldwide in over 40 languages are scanned 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.
Historical Abstracts is an excellent resource for a variety of disciplines including
multicultural studies, sociology,
psychology, women's studies/gender studies, religion, anthropology, political science, history
of science, economics,
business, education, music, art, and law.
