ProQuest has further enhanced access to research with the launch of the next database of Early European Books (EEB) with Collection 7, making another 7,450 titles available. This will bring the EEB program to more than 40,000 titles and 14 million pages of valuable images from the early modern period. The total number of page images in EEB now surpasses the number of page images in ProQuest's acclaimed Early English Books Online, EEBO database. The continual development of EEB reflects ProQuest's commitment to digitising unique content from the early modern period, enabling researchers to go deeper in their area of expertise and generate superior outcomes.
The digitisation of EEB Collection 7 has only been possible through the partnerships with the holding libraries which include the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in The Hague, Det Kongelige Bibliotek, in Copenhagen and The Wellcome Library in London, bringing over 1.9 million pages to this new collection. ProQuest has scanned the valuable works on site at the libraries using state-of-the-art technology to create high-definition colour images of every page, including marginalia inside the pages as well as often-lavish bindings and covers.
The libraries have provided a breadth of material for Volume 7 of EEB contributing specifically to the topics: History of Medicine and Science and Philosophy, Humanism and The Reformation
Through the Early European Books program, ProQuest provides an essential foundation of European writing in the early modern period by digitising and bringing together rare treasures from major libraries in Europe. The program supports the needs of scholars increasing access to valuable content easily without the need to be on site to view the documents in person. Content is now available online at their fingertips.
