Description

19th Century Masterfile (NCM) contains every relevant contemporary index to pre-1925 materials in a single searchable form.  What began in 1999 with an enhanced, electronic edition of Poole's "Index to Periodical Literature" has grown to embrace over 60 indexes to periodicals, books, newspapers, patents, US and UK government documents. 

NCM is far and always the largest resource for pre-1925 studies available and additional indexes are added regularly.
