UBC Library is pleased to announce the acquisition of the Adam Matthew digital collections not previously held by the Library.

The addition of the Adam Matthew collections represents a significant effort at acquiring digital primary research materials, manuscripts and rare printed sources in the arts, humanities and social sciences.

The Library has been making a concerted effort to enhance holdings of material in electronic form. In 2008/09, we acquired an extensive array of life sciences and medical journal backfiles comprising more than 1,500 titles.

Some of the collections gained include:

  • Everyday Life & Women in America, c. 1800-1920 
  • Foreign Office Files for China, 1949-1980, Section I and II 
  • The Grand Tour
  • India, Raj and Empire
  • Literary Manuscripts (Leeds)
  • Literary Manuscripts (Berg)
  • Macmillan Cabinet Papers, 1957-1963
  • Mass Observation Online Update
