For more than 50 years, Readex has published many of the most widely used collections of primary source research materials in libraries. Today, Readex, a division of NewsBank, inc., continues to shape the study of centuries of American history, literature, culture and daily life by offering unprecedented access to the past.

Early American Imprints, Series I. Evans (1639-1800)

Early American Imprints, Series I. Evans (1639-1800) has been hailed as one of the most important collections ever produced on microform. Based on the renowned American Bibliography by Charles Evans and enhanced by Roger Bristol's Supplement to Evans' American Bibliography, the collection was first published by Readex in cooperation with the American Antiquarian Society. For decades, the collection has served as the definitive resource of information about every aspect of life in 17th- and 18th-century America, from agriculture and auctions through foreign affairs, diplomacy, literature, music, religion, the Revolutionary War, slavery, temperance, witchcraft and just about any other topic imaginable.

The digital version of Evans is the cornerstone of the Readex Archive of Americana. Upon completion, this unique, Internet-based resource will consist of:

• All titles contained in Evans microform editions—more than 36,000 items and over 2.3 million images
• A database enriched by more than 1,200 catalogued new items
• Integrated bibliographic records from the American Antiquarian Society

There is some information that you'll need to know before ordering, and while each eContent partner or database requires slightly different information, the following generally applies: academic libraries may need to know how many FTEs they have and public libraries will likely be asked for average circulation statistics.
