A New Interface for Empire Online

Empire Online, a database from Adam Matthew Publishers, has a new look! Empire Online offers PDF scans of manuscripts, official documents, photographs, periodicals, and other materials involving empire studies, as well as nearly 20 contextual essays with links to primary source material. With the new interface, you can now access an interactive chronology, browsable by category, empire, country, and commodity. You can also save documents and images to "My Archive" and "My Lightbox."

Empire Online is available via a "Databases" search on the UK Libraries' home page.
