Electronic research databases provider EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO), US, and the John Carter Brown Library have collaborated to bring a new bibliographic database to libraries, scholars and individuals interested in European works that relate to the Americas. European Views of the Americas: 1493-1750 is a database based on the authoritative bibliography 'European Americana: A Chronological Guide to Works Printed in Europe Relating to The Americas, 1493-1750'. The database is freely available online at www.europeanamericana.com.
The bibliography was co-developed by John Alden and Dennis Landis, Curator of European Books at the John Carter Brown Library. The John Carter Brown Library is a repository of rare books and materials and is a center for advanced research in history and the humanities.
This new database is projected as a valuable index for libraries, scholars and individuals interested in European works that relate to the Americas. European Views of the Americas: 1493-1750 contains more than 32,000 entries and is a comprehensive guide to printed records about the Americas written in Europe before 1750. It covers the history of European exploration as well as portrayals of native American peoples. A wide range of subject areas - from natural disasters to disease outbreaks and slavery - are covered.
European Views of the Americas: 1493-1750 is available on EBSCOhost. EBSCOhost databases are usually available by institution-level subscription only, but EBSCO is making the database available to anyone interested in European works that relate to the Americas. This will be the fourth database EBSCO has made available for free joining Library, Information Science and Technology Abstracts (LISTA), Teacher Reference Center and GreenFILE.
