History and Brief Description of your Publishing Program: Gale Digital Collections make rare, previously difficult-to-access primary source materials viewable and searchable to the word, in an online digital format. From the 1100s to the 2000s; from the Wild West to the Far East; from culture and business, to politics and war, to religion and government; this remarkable, ever-expanding resource supports the needs of today’s scholars, faculty and students and enhances the value and reputation of any academic and scholarly institution.

Gale Digital Collections is publishing program within Gale, a part of Cengage Learning which offers print, eBook and database solutions to academic, public, K12, and special library markets.
