AM Research Skills is a resource which helps researchers to gain skills in approaching primary sources such as newspapers, photographs, letters, objects, films and more. The Research Skills Foundations module contains almost 200 essays, videos, guides and case studies which describe how primary sources can be interrogated and used in academic research. Alongside the Foundations module, Strathclyde also provides access to the module Interrogating Colonial Documents and Narratives, which introduces the key considerations concerned with studying colonial history. This resource will be of interest to anyone who wishes to use primary sources in their research, assignments or essays.
This resource is published by AM, formerly known as Adam Matthew.
Please note that the Jisc Historical Texts resource will be retired on 31st July 2024. Strathclyde are in the process of arranging alternate access to EEBO and ECCO from August 2024.
Full text or page images of over 400,000 books published in England from 1475 to 1900. The service includes EEBO (Early English Books Online), ECCO (Eighteenth Century Collections Online), Nineteenth Century Books from the British Library Collection, and also the UK Medical Heritage Library.
Mass Observation Online provides access to digitised versions of manuscripts and papers collected by the Mass Observation organisation in Britain during the period 1937 to the mid 1950s. It provides insights into daily lives and routines and provides access to primary sources of interest to those researching or studying historical, sociological or anthropological subjects.
See also Mass Observation Project.
Nineteenth Century UK Periodicals (Part One) covers the advent of commercial lifestyle publishing in Britain. Content is drawn from the collections of the British Library, National Library of Scotland, National Library of Australia, and National Library of South Africa. Topics covered include the rarely documented aspects of women, children, humour, and leisure activity in the Victorian age. The rise of magazine publishing is reflected in the selection of publications, which spans publications aimed at and tailored to various audiences, including women and children.
You can either search Nineteenth Century UK Periodicals on its own here, or with other primary sources using Gale Primary Sources.

Access to Early English Books Online, a collection of over 146,000 titles listed in Pollard and Redgrave's Short-Title Catalogue (1475-1640) and Wing's Short-Title Catalogue (1641-1700) as well as the Thomason Tracts (1640-1661) and the Early English Books Online Supplement.

This resource was previously accessible as part of the Jisc Historical Texts service.
Strathclyde's subscription access to EEBO on the ProQuest platform will begin in August. ProQuest have activated trial access in advance of this date, to prevent any loss of access to EEBO between Jisc Historical Texts closing on 31st July and our ProQuest EEBO subscription starting. Once our subscription access begins, the message on the resource stating that we have limited trial access will disappear.
