Cambridge Journals Press Release
Release Date: 16/02/2010
Country of Issue: United Kingdom

Cambridge Journals has completed the 2009 Collection of its 
Digital Archives, adding to over a century of digitised research 
material.

Over 3.3 million pages are now available in the 2009 Collection, 
the vast majority of which have never been available online 
before.

The 2009 archive collection now includes content from journals 
such as Behavioral and Brain Sciences, British Journal of 
Political Science, The International Review of the Red Cross and 
the Journal of Fluid Mechanics.

During digitisation it was also discovered that many journals had 
previous versions and wherever possible, these have now been 
digitised as well. The International Review of the Red Cross now 
has three complete archives - in English, French and Spanish, all 
from different periods in its existence.

The process of digitising the 2010 Collection is already well 
underway. Highlights will include the archive of Archaeologia, 
which dates back to 1770 and is associated with The Antiquaries 
Journal, and the archive of another highly rated historical title 
Speculum, which dates back to 1926.

The Cambridge Journals Digital Archive is available in its 
entirety, as a package of Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) 
archives, as a package of Science, Technology and Medicine (STM) 
archives, or in subject based packages.
