An Essential Database for Advanced Historical Research

19th Century Masterfile provides the researcher with a single resource for accessing the complete record of printed material from the period.

Generations of scholars have been thwarted by the arduous task of finding and culling historical indices to material published before 1925. Now, with 19th Century Masterfile, researchers have a single resource for exploring pre-1925 literature.

19th Century Masterfile begins with an enhanced, expanded digitization of William F. Poole's seminal Index to Periodical Literature, and expands on this through massive digitization of over 60 unique, specialized indexes to books, newspapers, patents, and government documents published during the late 19th and early 20th century.
