Recently added New Titles.

ATLA Historical Monograph Collection (Both of these collections are also directly accessible through the Atriuum Catalog/OPAC database.)
Series 1 - 13th Century to 1893
Series 2 - 1894 to 1923
 

The American Theological Library Association (ATLA) Historical Monographs Collection consists of two Series that contain more than 29,000 titles focused on religion and theology. In its entirety, the collection is estimated to contain over 10 million pages, representing a core collection for colleges and universities with programs in history, theology, religion, sociology, political science and other disciplines.
 

Series 1 consists of titles from the 13th Century through the 1893 World Parliament of Religions with the majority of titles from the 19th century. This is the first of two monograph series to be offered by EBSCO Publishing from the ATLA’s historical monograph archives and is a vast collection containing over 5 million pages of content. The historical time period of the collection reflects upon a time of great doctrinal, social, and organizational change.Since religion was such an integral part of the social, political and economic fabric of life during the time period of this collection, historians researching a wide range of areas, not just religion, will find invaluable material relevant to their work.
 

Series 2 contains hundreds of volumes describing the evangelical movement and collections of evangelical sermons including covering the debates between science and religion in the current day that has its roots in the late nineteenth century. A significant number of titles that describe the missionary activities of the period are included as well as numerous biographies of nineteenth century theologians which provide perspective on how and why these leaders were valued in the nineteenth century. It offers a unique collection of books by and about women and the church and also books about Native Americans and their religion and the view that Puritans and others held about Native Americans and their religion. Topics like Jewish laws, music, literature, and history are also well covered in the collection.

All titles can be keyword-searched and viewed through a new image viewer unique to EBSCO's historical archive databases, which provides innovative ways to research, view and manage the content.
