Information resources and technologies provider ProQuest, US, has announced that the 250th edition of The Annual Register is now available online. This volume, published in 2009, covers the events of 2008 and also includes a number of special features to commemorate the 250th anniversary.
The Annual Register was first written under the editorship of the eminent philosopher and statesman Edmund Burke, and has been produced continuously since that date. Every year since 1758 leading contemporary scholars compiled a comprehensive record of the year's critical events, providing a valuable record of contemporary opinion, historical context and biographical information. It gives readers a sharp insight into contemporary thought from eminent scholars and writers year by year.
The complete full text back-files of The Annual Register (http://annualregister.chadwyck.co.uk) are available online through an interface that allows facsimile pages of the original print edition to be scanned, downloaded and printed. The Annual Register Online comprises articles on each of the world's countries or regions, as well as articles on international organisations, economics, the environment, science, law, the arts and sport, together with obituaries, a chronicle of major events and selected documents. The Annual Register Online is being offered to public libraries for free as part of the 250th anniversary celebrations.
