This is an amazing resource! My teaching and research is on the history of India, which in comparison to other historical regions/areas is not very well served by the library's current digital sources - particularly for primary materials. This resource, however, contains over 7,000 newspaper and journal articles relating to India, as well as hundreds of books and manuscripts. I would definitely use this in my teaching, and I can also envision it as being invaluable to a host of other modules in History, not least the new global history module that all first year students will be required to take.
This is an excellent resource. I would use it for my research on environmental and animal history, as well as teaching in these areas. It would be a great resource for students and staff alike.
I am a Lecturer at the Department of History, and my research and teaching expertise lie in the history of modern China, as well as the history of science and medicine. This resource could be very useful for dissertations, as well as building undergraduate History modules on global history and/or the history of science, medicine and technology.
