Gale has announced Eighteenth Century Collections Online, a comprehensive digital edition of The Eighteenth Century, the world's largest library on microfilm of the printed book available through its imprint Primary Source Microfilm. In the most ambitious single digitization project ever undertaken, more than 136,000 English-language titles and editions (over 155,000 volumes) published between 1701 and 1800 are available online. The project allows for full-text searching of more than 26 million pages of material, providing research opportunities in ways previously unavailable to a wide range of data spanning all disciplines.
"Fans of Gale's Eighteenth Century Collections Online will be happy to learn that the new Part II: New Editions release offers users a fresh new interface with advanced search and display tools and expands ECCO's content by almost 50,000 titles - i.e. almost seven million pages of new content. Yeah, I told you it was hot in here."
