Washington and Lee University researchers now have online access to one of the most prestigious scholarly publication collections through Cambridge Histories Online.
This newly-released database contains the complete texts of over 250 volumes published since the 1960's in the various Cambridge Histories series on major historical topics.
Several series are still active and new volumes will be added to the database as published, as will any new series when they begin.

W&L students, faculty, and staff have access to this database through our Web site and through Annie (where we plan also to have links to individual titles in the series).
