UCLA Arts Library Theater, Film, and Television Blog

Through August 1, the UC system has a trial to two historical Proquest databases: British Periodicals Collections I & II, and House of Commons Parliamentary Papers, 1688-2004. While neither of these is specific to the performing arts, the British Periodicals Collections may be of interest to theater researchers and historians of early cinema. It includes full-text periodical searching for British periodicals roughly covering the 18th C through the mid-1930s.

Please note that this is only a trial, and no guarantee that we will be able to subscribe to these databases. If you are UCLA student, staff, or faculty and would like access to this trial, please let me know and I’ll send you the password.
