ACLS Humanities E-Book
Product Highlights
Background
ACLS Humanities E-Book
is an online collection of high quality books in the humanities, accessible
through institutional and individual subscription. These titles are offered by the ACLS in
collaboration with twenty learned societies, nearly 100 contributing publishers, and librarians
at the University of Michigan’s Scholarly Publishing Office.The result is an online, fully searchable collection
of high-quality books in history, recommended and reviewed by historians and
featuring unlimited multi-user access and free, downloadable MARC records.
HEB was originally funded as the ACLS History E-Book Project in June 1999 by a $3-million, five-year grant from
The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, with additional funding from the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation.
Now in its second phase, HEB achieved self-sustainability in the spring of 2005 and became ACLS Humanities E-Book in January 2007.
Titles
As of January 2011, the ACLS Humanities E-Book includes
nearly 2,800 books
selected by historians in most fields of history. Approximately 500 titles are
added each year.
The collection includes both in- and out-of-print titles ranging from 1885
through the present. Titles link to important online reviews in JSTOR and other sites.
