EJANZH: Network Contacts for Historians

History on the Net

H-Net: The international on-line scholarly network for the humanities and social sciences.

History On-Line http://ihr.sas.ac.uk/search/

This new site from the Institute of Historical Research (IHR) and the ROADS Project is an important resource for historians, especially those working in the UK or studying Britain. Essentially a database of some 30,000 records, searchable categories at the site include: books, journals, and articles published in the UK (some with abstracts); higher education History teachers in the UK; history theses completed in the UK since 1900 as well as theses in progress; and seminars and conferences held at the IHR. Users can also search selected databases by historical theme, place, or period using the Institute’s Classification scheme page. The site would benefit immensely from browsing capability and more precision in the current search engines. Also, several databases overlap that are presented as distinct entities. However, the site still has considerable potential as a tool for research and professional communication.
