This is a guide to finding books and journals published prior to 1800. The main focus is on more general databases, catalogs, indexes, i.e. tools that are not author, genre, period specific. However, BC Libraries has a large number of such latter tools, often full-text: Acta Sanctorum, English Poetry (600-1900), Past Masters, among others. For more details about these and other relevant databases, see Online Databases. If you have any questions or comments, please contact Brendan Rapple (617-552-4482; rappleb@bc.edu).
