This past summer, the company EBSCO purchased the America: History & Life and Historical Abstracts databases. Today, we were notified that these two databases can now be searched using the EBSCOhost interface. This is the same interface used for many of our other databases, including Academic Search Premier. We switched the links on our database page to point to the EBSCOhost version effective today.
We anticipate that the older interface will continue to be available until at least December 2007. If you prefer to use that interface, use the following links:
America: History & Life
Historical Abstracts

The publisher of the Journal of Modern History (The University of Chicago Press) has notified us that they are changing their pricing model starting in 2007. For the past several years, we have enjoyed free online access to the electronic version of this journal on the basis of our continuing print subscription. The publisher is no longer offering this option. I need a response from you by December 8, 2006 about how you would like us to handle this subscription.
