CRL Review

Collection Content:

Archives Unbound presents topically-focused digital collections of historical documents. Gale's collections in Archives Unbound cover a broad range of topics from the Middle Ages forward--from Witchcraft to World War II to twentieth-century political history. Collections are chosen for Archives Unbound based on requests from scholars, archivists, and students.

At present there are 26 categories with each category having varying number of sub-collections. Sources for the sub-collections range from archival material from national governments (NARA) and trade companies (American Fur Company) to reference works such as the City and Business Directories. Collections can include serial publications (The Moving Picture World) or newspapers (Mercure de France), or royal acts (Actes royaux français, 1256-1794).

Archives Unbound will be available soon on Gale Artemis: Primary Sources, an academic research environment that integrates primary source collections, allowing researchers to search across a wide array of material and uncover new ways to analyze and contextualize information.
