Schlager Digital Library

A new ebook platform housing our entire catalog of primary source references. Built over a span of 15 years in collaboration with a global team of scholars, the content in the Schlager Digital Library offers a hybrid purpose: it serves as a comprehensive research tool but can also be used by faculty as assigned course material.

Designed and Used by Faculty for More than 15 Years

Our content comprises a singular focus on primary source documents: the letters, speeches, edicts, laws, legislation, and sacred texts that have influenced global history from ancient times to the present. Curated, introduced, and analyzed by scholars, the sources in our library have been published in reference book format since 2008, offering a comprehensive, trusted first step for historical research.

At the same time, faculty have been using our content as course materials for more than a decade, assigning it as required reading, using it in class debates, and suggesting it for research papers and projects.

Now, for the first time, we've collected our content in a single ebook platform designed for 24/7 use in the library, in the classroom, or remotely. It's available for perpetual access purchase or annual subscription. By Fall 2024, the platform will include 27 titles from our collection. We offer free trials of 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, or semester-length.

The content is useful for courses in US History, World History, Ethnic/Gender/Identity Studies, American Government, and World Religions.
