Early English Books Online, or EEBO for short, is among the most valuable resources for English scholarship. EEBO now offers "about 100,000 of over 125,000 titles listed in Pollard & Redgrave's Short-Title Catalogue (1475-1640) and Wing's Short-Title Catalogue (1641-1700) and their revised editions, as well as the Thomason Tracts (1640-1661) collection and the Early English Books Tract Supplement."

This guide provides an introduction to searching EEBO and using it as a resource for scholarship in early modern texts.

You can access Early English Books Online through Online Journals & Databases (type the full title to be taken to the database), or through this page.

EEBO-TCP takes you to the new EEBO-Text Creation Partnership interface.
