Headlines
On Stand 368 at Online Information 2011, Gale, part of Cengage Learning, is unveiling the
all new Times Digital Archive, 1785-2006*. Adding 20 years to the ground-breaking, highly
popular 1785-1985 edition, the new publication offers researchers nearly 70,000 issues and
more than 11 million articles on the cross-searchable Gale NewsVault platform. Also coming
to NewsVault is the complete run of The Sunday Times Digital Archive, 1822-2006, to be
released in Spring 2012.
Also headlining at Information Online 2011 is Gale Business Insights: Global (BI:G) – an
innovative e-learning resource for international business that uniquely combines Cengage
Learning’s content assets with Gale’s digital capabilities to equip undergraduate students
with an edge in today’s workplace. To see this first hand, visit Stand 368.
Gale is also showcasing The Dreyfus Affair in the Making of Modern France, 1894-1908
– offering researchers unprecedented insight into the definitive political scandal of its day.
The Dreyfus Affair is part of the Archives Unbound portfolio of over 85 specialist digital
collections.
Finally, Gale is announcing at Online Information its International Advisory Board for
Nineteenth Century Collections Online: one of Cengage Learning’s largest and most
ambitious undertakings, set to change the nature of research on the nineteenth century, just
like its predecessor, ECCO, did for the eighteenth century. The Nineteenth Century
Collections Online publisher, Ray Abruzzi, will be available at the stand to discuss the
project.
In Depth
Gale’s first digital archive ever to be released continues to be its best-selling and best-known
property the world over: The Times Digital Archive. Nine years from its original release, a
new extended version provides an extra 600,000 new pages of invaluable content covering
the tumultuous period at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, all
in a new, intuitive user interface. Researchers can now automatically create citations and
export them to bibliographic software, such as EndNote and RefWorks. A Gale account
allows users to save searches and marked items across sessions. A new image viewer
allows users to manipulate images more easily and view articles and whole pages on a full
screen. The archive supports research in Business, Economics, Humanities, Industry,
Interdisciplinary Studies, Philosophy, Political Science, Genealogy, Journalism, Theology,
Science/Medicine, World History, Art and Architecture, amongst others.
From major world and British events to the stories of everyday life in the 19th and 20th
centuries, The Sunday Times Digital Archive, 1822-2006 offers more than 800,000 pages
of thoughtful analysis and commentary on the week’s news and society at large. Worldfamous for its cutting-edge investigative journalism, the newspaper broke many of the key
stories of the twentieth century, including the thalidomide scandal in the 1960s, the exposure
of Kim Philby as a Soviet double-agent, and the revelations about the Israeli nuclear
programme in 1986. The newspaper has featured a regular column on births, deaths and
marriages throughout its history, making it an excellent resource for family history research.
In the 19th century, the paper even included a regular Freemasonry column, as well as
publishing details of the graduates from Sandhurst.
Seth Cayley, Publisher of Media History at Cengage Learning EMEA, comments: “The
Sunday Times is perhaps the world's most famous Sunday newspaper, and its archive is a
gateway to some of the greatest crimes, careers and culture of the last 180 years. The
complete archive of The Sunday Times - cross-searchable with the Times Digital Archive will be a key resource for researchers, teachers and students across the humanities.”
Also launching at Online Information is Gale’s digitisation of The Dreyfus Affair in the
Making of Modern France, 1894-1908, offering researchers unprecedented insight into
French diplomatic history through coverage of the Dreyfus Affair, which divided France and
exposed the virulent anti-Semitism prevailing in European society. In 1894, Alfred Dreyfus, a
French officer of Jewish descent, was convicted of treason and sentenced to life
imprisonment. Despite overwhelming evidence that the real traitor was another officer, the
military continued to cover up the miscarriage of justice, until Dreyfus was eventually
released in 1906. The resource covers the controversy from Dreyfus' humiliating arrest in
1894 to 1908, the year Emile Zola's ashes were transferred to the Pantheon with ceremonial
reverence.
Comprising over 1,000 volumes, the collection contains all the well-known Dreyfus
publications, such as Zola's 1898 newspaper article "J'accuse," as well as rarely seen
archival materials and 83,820 images from the Houghton Library Collection at Harvard
University. Predominantly in the French language, with some items in English, German,
Italian, Spanish, Dutch and Swedish, the resource includes documents from many different
countries and all sides of the controversy, reflecting the depth and breadth of attention the
Dreyfus Affair generated at the turn of the 19th century. Researchers can access a range of
monographs, pamphlets, newspaper clippings and cartoons, as well as independently
published stenographic transcripts of all the major trials.
