Cambridge Histories Online

Seven COPPUL members recently participated in the one-time purchase of Cambridge Histories Online. This unique historical reference compendium of over 250 volumes is now available online for the first time, adding immense value to the texts and enhancing any aspect of historical research.

Since CHO is a one-time purchase, members are welcome to join the subscription anytime after the September 1st start date but will be eligible for the "introductory" prices only until the end of this year. Cambridge University Press is planning to increase pricing by 10% as of January 1, 2009.

For more information about joining this subscription, please contact Debbie Braun debbie.braun@accesscomm.ca
