Following a successful trial the Library now has a subscription to Brill’s Bibliography of the History and Archaeology of Eastern Europe in the Middle Ages. A fundamental source of information for the study of the history and archaeology of medieval East Central and Eastern Europe, the bibliography aims to encourage further research, but also to provide guidance through an enormous amount of information available in a variety of languages and a great multitude of publications.
You can access this database through the Databases A-Z list or via the History or Archaeology subject guides. Access through DiscoverEd will also be available soon.
Bibliography of the History and Archaeology of Eastern Europe in the Middle Ages provides comprehensive coverage of all publications, in all languages, pertaining to this vast area of the European continent and its impact on European history from about 500 to the aftermath of the Mongol invasion of 1241. The bibliography offers search capabilities which are particularly useful for very narrowly defined research goals, thus encouraging comparative work with materials from other parts of Europe. Its purpose is to provide a solid basis for the study of the history and archaeology of medieval East Central and Eastern Europe, an area of great interference and symbiosis of influences from Scandinavia, Western Europe, the steppe lands of Eurasia, as well as Byzantium.
