Two New Databases with Very Old Content

Thanks to funding from CUNY Central, we recently gained access to a couple of databases from Gale that contain unique historical collections:

  • National Geographic Magazine Archive offers the every single page (even the ads) from the magazine published between 1888 and 1994. It’s a blast to browse.
  • 17th-18th Century Burney Collection Newspapers, the new champ for the database with the longest name, is best known for providing the largest collection of British newspapers. It also includes pamphlets, broadsides, etc.
