Nineteenth Century Index

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:

  • Nineteenth Century Short Title Catalogue
  • Nineteenth Century Microfiche Project
  • American Periodical Series
  • British Periodicals I & II
  • Cotgreave’s Index
  • Niles’ Register Index
  • Periodicals Index Online
  • Poole's Index to Periodical Literature
  • Stead’s Index to Periodicals
  • Wellesley Index to Victorian Periodicals, 1824-1900
  • House of Commons Parliamentary Papers
  • Proceedings of the Old Bailey
  • U.S. Congressional Serial Set [including American State Papers]
  • Archive Finder
  • Palmer's Index to the Times [of London]
  • Bookman Directory
  • American State Papers, 1789-1838

C19 includes indexing only for each of these resources; it does not include any full-text content. Rutgers has other databases with full-text content for several of these resources, including:
