The ABC-CLIO company has made enhancements to the Historical Abstracts and America:  History and Life databases.  Enhancements include the maintenance of tagged search results records across multiple searches within a session, the using of “ANDing and ORing” search logic is now an option for subject terms in a displayed record, and search results are now presorted based on publication date and, secondarily, on chronological scope of the citation retrieved.

America:  History and Life provides historical coverage of the United States and Canada from prehistory to the present.  It includes information abstracted from over 2000 journals published worldwide.

Historical Abstracts covers the history of the world from 1450 to the present (excluding the United States and Canada).  Currently over 2000 journals published throughout the world are covered.
