New Free EBSCO Database

EBSCO Publishing and the John Carter Brown Library Join Forces to Offer Free Historical Database

EBSCO 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.” European Views of the Americas: 1493-1750 is freely available online at: www.europeanamericana.com.

This new database 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 are covered, from natural disasters to disease outbreaks and slavery.

While the database is freely available online at www.europeanamericana.com, libraries may add European Views of the Americas: 1493-1750 to their EBSCOhost® profiles by contacting technical support at support@ebsco.com. European Views of the Americas: 1493-1750 will be the fourth database EBSCO has made available for free, joining Library, Information Science and Technology Abstracts (LISTA), Teacher Reference Center™ and GreenFILE™.
