American Council of Learned Societies Humanities E-Book Project
The Humanities E-Book Project of the American Council of Learned Societies creates digital copies of works that are “all especially valuable, time-tested books, regularly consulted by scholars and advanced students.” The selected works cover most time periods for the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America. The project plans to expand its global coverage as well as increase its collection of digitized works. A small set of “Frontlist” works contains recent monographs with supporting primary sources and reviews. All these books can be searched by key word; printing is possible a page at a time.
