Colgate University Libraries News and Events

The Libraries have been able to add the following additional resources:
 
Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO)
ECCO delivers every significant English-language and foreign-language title printed in Great Britain during the eighteenth century, along with thousands of important works from the Americas.   It vividly brings this period to life with materials ranging from books and directories to Bibles, sheet music, sermons and advertisements and contains 26 million pages of text from more than 136,000 titles (155,000 volumes)
 
Slavery and Anti-Slavery: a Transnational Archive : Part 1 Debates over Slavery and Abolition
SAS is a historical archive that embraces the scholarly study of slavery in a comprehensive, conceptual and global way. It contains 1.5 million pages, including more than 7,000 books and pamphlets, 80 newspaper and periodical titles, and a dozen major manuscript collections.  It strongly supports research with a U.S. focus, but also includes resources from Africa, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean – allowing for comparative research.
 
Illustrated London News
With its debut in 1842, The Illustrated London News became the world's first fully illustrated weekly newspaper, marking a revolution in journalism and news reporting. It presented a vivid picture of British and world events - including news of war, disaster, ceremonies, the arts and science - with coverage ranging from the Great Fire of Hamburg to Queen Victoria's fancy dress ball at Buckingham Palace, both featured in the first issue. In The Illustrated London News Historical Archive you will find the entire run of the publication (1842-2003) - including all Special Numbers and Reports - reproduced in high-quality colour facsimile images.
