New Product Announcement-->Waterloo directory of English newspapers and periodicals, 1800-1900
Waterloo directory of English newspapers and periodicals, 1800-1900
Here is a directory to the largest single body of historical documents arising out of nineteenth century England at the height of the British Empire. This empire was by some measures the most powerful and influential in the history of civilization: she held sway over the largest land mass and the greatest proportion of the world’s people. Having become in the 19^th century one of the most literate of all societies, England established the Victorian periodical and newspaper press as a primary vehicle of participatory democracy. The /Directory /provides a more comprehensive, detailed and useful bibliographical record (including Locations and facsimile Title Pages) than we yet have for printed books, government publications or manuscripts of the century. It is subject-comprehensive, intending to include every periodical and newspaper published on a regular basis, from daily to annually, in every language, within England: a goldmine for cultural historians, genealogists and all subject specialists. Newspapers and periodicals were more than one-hundred-fold the volume and readership of printed books.

The other major change in the data is that we are no longer showing a combined entry for Serbia and Montenegro, these are now shown separately.

Upgrade to Encyclopedia of Islam
We are happy to inform you that Brill has begun to upgrade The Encyclopaedia of Islam Online, particularly the data of EI2. The first steps in this process include:
- Changes to the search engine, the user interface of which has been improved in several ways. For example, the presentation of the search results has been made significantly more user friendly.
- The entries of EI2 had many hyperlinks (all internal cross-references) with a limited added value. These links have now been removed, which makes the texts easier to consult on the screen. Only the original cross-references of the paper version have been retained. Over the next months a selected number of relevant links will be restored.
- We are also in the process of changing various orthographical oddities in the entries of EI2, most of which have crept in during digitalization.
- In the new format references to the printed edition have been added to all articles of EI2 online.
