What search and browse options are available?

There are multiple ways of navigating the content:
  • The main Search box in the header
  • Advanced Search: search by author name, title, subject or publication date
  • Explore options: browse lists of periods, places and topics
  • Browse Contents: browse by Cultural History series, eBook titles, timeline or image collections.
  • Timeline of Cultural History: accessible from the Browse Contents drop-down or the home page, this feature provides a richly illustrated overview of historical events in cultural history from antiquity to the present day, with contextual information on society, the arts and science, and click-through links to related content.

Can I save items for reading later?
