Virtual Maney—History is a selection of recent articles from every journal in our MORE History Collection, chosen to indicate the international breadth of research published in these 26 titles. We hope this provides a taste of the high quality of topical, peer-reviewed material included in every issue and will encourage you to explore further.

To learn more about the individual journals in the collection, and conferences at which we shall be exhibiting, please view our History Spotlight.

The collection will be enhanced in 2010 by the addition of the War & Society, an Australian journal launched in 1983 by the School of Humanities & Social Sciences, University of New South Wales, and by Dress, the annual journal of the Costume Society of America, which is due online in November 2010.

The MORE History Collection is offered to libraries and institutions that wish to subscribe in a single purchase to a significant body of international history publications. A subscription includes access to the entire online archive of back volumes, making available a deep archive of material previously to be found only in printed form. A free trial is offered to interested parties: for more details of the journals contained in the collection please click here; for information on how to set up a free trial please click here.
