Eighteenth Century Journals II: New Full-Text Searchable Database
By Annette Keogh
Stanford University Libraries and Academic Information Resources (SULAIR) has acquired a new full-text searchable database of British and Irish newspapers, Eighteenth Century Journals II. Periodical literature was arguably one of the most important forms during the eighteenth century, and this database presents a rich sampling of periodicals published between 1699 and 1812.
Digitized from the collection at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas, Austin, many of the titles included in the database are extremely rare and do not overlap with EEBO, Early English Newspapers, or ECCO. The database supports all aspects of eighteenth-century studies, including British and European literature, theatre and popular entertainment, politics, religion, the American and French Revolutions, social life, gender, the origins and rise of Romanticism, exoticism and imperialism, and the culture of print. Search results display the digital image of the original and a transcript of each page.
You can find Eighteenth Century Journals II on SULAIR's databases and articles Web page. Select Browse by Title and then click "Go" for an alphabetized list of all titles. You can also access them directly.
