The Cambridge Histories have become an established and essential component
of the academic research library, and now, for the first time, over 250 of
these well-known, used and trusted volumes published since the 1960's are
available online, adding immense value to the texts and enhancing any
aspect of historical research. Cambridge Histories Online (CHO) will be an
indispensable research tool for undergraduates and academics alike. It
offers impressive functionality, enabling quick and easy access to content
and the tools to make the content usable in a time effective way, including
extensive bibliographic reference linking, personal archives, citation
export, remote access and user control display features. CHO covers 14
subject areas, including General History, Regional History, Literary
Studies, Philosophy, and Religious Studies.
