What's New
We are constantly searching for new content for C19 Index. If you have suggestions, or are involved with a relevant digitization project or special library collection that is rich in nineteenth century materials and you would like to promote your collection via C19 Index, please contact the Webmaster.
December 2007 release
In addition to thousands of new records from sources like British Periodicals and ArchivesUSA, this release saw the addition of two important new sources to C19 Index.
The Congressional Serial Set and its predecessor, the American State Papers, from LexisNexis are now available, including almost 131k records from 1789-1901. Containing bibliographic records for reports, documents, messages, communications, motions, resolutions and more, the American State Papers and Serial Set capture all aspects of American life from westward expansion, Indian affairs, politics, international affairs, business and manufacturing. The new Congressional Serial Set search screen allows users to conduct focused searches of the material. From the Search Indexes screen these records of American government are also cross-searchable with the rest of the C19 indexes - including their U.K. equivalent, the House of Commons Parliamentary Papers - allowing users to easily compare the evolving attitudes and legislation of the two nations.
The Curran Index of Additions to and Corrections of the Wellesley Index of Victorian Periodicals has also been completely integrated with the original Wellesley Index within C19 Index. Professor Eileen Curran, one of the original editors of Wellesley, has compiled an index of corrections and additions made by scholars since Wellesley was published. These entries originally appeared in Victorian Periodicals Review and elsewhere. The Curran Index continues to be updated, and includes information on some additional periodicals not covered in the original Wellesley. Curran is essential for keeping up to date with recent research into the authorship of Victorian periodical articles, and it has now been completely integrated with the online Wellesley Index. Additions and corrections from Curran have been appended to the relevant article, contributor and periodical records from Wellesley, while new records have been created for Curran entries without a corresponding Wellesley record. The full Curran Index can be viewed using the new Browse screen.
June 2007 release
Thousands of new records from Periodicals Index Online and British Periodicals have been added in this release.
Four new options have been added for searching British Periodicals. It is now possible to search for semi-monthly publications, for the content types Drama and Fiction/Narrative, and for articles containing photographs.
November 2006 release
In this release of C19 Index a new index was added for British Periodicals Collection I. Over 300,000 records from the first 71 titles completed as part of ProQuest's ongoing digitization of hundreds of early British periodicals have been added to C19 Index along with a new, dedicated search screen. Additional records will be added over the next couple years as work on converting British Periodicals progresses. Linking to the corresponding full text article is available for customers of the British Periodicals full text resource. More information about this exciting project is available at About British Periodicals. More information on all of the full text linking options is available at Linking to full text.In addition, alternate titles have been added to all records in the American Periodicals Series data set, making it easier for users to follow the history of those publications and search across the variations.
July 2006 release
The latest release of C19 Index saw the addition of a new content category, Archives, two new datasets, Poole's Index to Periodical Literature, and ArchivesUSA and the first instalment of a major new research collection, British Periodicals, available initially as a collection within Periodicals Archive Online. Existing datasets also grew substantially; over 5 million new article records were added to American Periodicals Series, and House of Commons Parliamentary Papers was extended to span the 'long nineteenth century', 1801-1919. C19 Index now includes around 16.8 million records, and will grow through quarterly updates as content is added to existing collections and new datasets are added.
Full text linking available to customers of standalone collections was also increased. Links to JSTOR were added to complement the Periodicals Archive Online links from Periodicals Index Online records. Customers of Palmer's Full Text Online can now go to full text using column and page references in Palmer's Index to The Times.
