Past Masters Database Trial

We are pleased to offer on-campus access to the Past Masters Series.

The description from their website reads:

InteLex Corporation's PAST MASTERS series encompasses the world's largest collection of full text electronic editions in philosophy. The series also includes significant collections in political thought, religious studies, sociology, the history of science, economics, and classics. Original language texts are available in Latin, French, German, Danish and Dutch, aside from English and English translation.  InteLex acquires and develops definitive editions of the full corpora of the seminal figures in the history of the humanities, including published and unpublished works, articles and essays, reviews and correspondence. The series opened a new and exciting chapter in the history of scholarly research when it was introduced in 1989. It is now utilized at over 150 research libraries in North America and Europe, and at over 600 institutions in 42 countries worldwide.
