Cambridge Histories Online
28 Apr 2025
The Library now provides online access to all titles in this key series and has subscribed to receive annual updates going forward.

As result of a recent review exercise, the Library now offers online access to all available titles to this flagship reference series and has instituted a subscription for the addition of annual releases to ensure consistent and comprehensive access for the foreseeable future.
Encompassing some 400 volumes, titles nominally address ten subject areas: American History; Ancient History & Classical Studies; Asian History; British & European History; Global History; Literature; Middle East & African Studies; Music & Theatre; Philosophy & Political Thought and Religion.
The Cambridge Histories also complement other recent state-of-the art and regularly updated reference material recently added to the Library’s holdings – most notably Oxford Bibliographies and Oxford Research Encyclopedias.
