READEX TO LAUNCH CARIBBEAN NEWSPAPER COLLECTION

摘要

Readex, a division of NewsBank, has launched the digital collection Caribbean Newspapers, Series 1, 1718-1876: From the American Antiquarian Society. The new resource-the largest of its kind-will chronicle the evolution of the Caribbean region across two centuries, providing a comprehensive primary resource for studying the development of Western society and international relations with this group of islands. "With more than 140 Spanish, French, Danish, and British titles-all available for the first time in a fully searchable database-Caribbean Newspapers promises to transform scholarship on the 18th- and 19th-century West Indies," said Eliga Gould, Chair of the History Department and Professor of History, University of New Hampshire. "It's going to be a real game changer."
