Description

C19: The Nineteenth Century Index is an index with more than 20 million records for books, periodical and newspaper articles, government publications, and archival collections. It is probably the most comprehensive resource for locating English language material printed in the 19th Century. C19 combines several established indexes, many of which were previously released in print. C19 allows cross-searching the entire body of indexes or searching within each index individually. Indexes within C19 include:

 Books:

  • Nineteenth-Century Short Title Catalogue
  • Nineteenth Century Microfiche Project

Periodicals:

  • American Periodicals
  • British Periodicals
  • Cotgreave’s Index
  • Index to Legal Periodical Literature
  • Niles’ Register Index

Other content:

  • Official Publications (House of Commons Parliamentary Papers, Proceedings of the Old Bailey, the U.S. Serial Set, and American State Papers)
  • Archives (Archive Finder)
  • Newspapers (Palmer’s Index to The Times)
  • Reference works (The “Bookman” Directory of Booksellers, Publishers and Authors; Dictionary of Nineteenth-Century Journalism)
