Age of Exploration

Age of Exploration, from publisher Adam Matthews, is a rich, single-purchase, primary source resource focusing on Western European exploration from c.1420-1920. The scope of this resource is focused on maritime exploration only, with resources originating in libraries, archives, and the Explorers Club. The resource includes a robust media gallery, including high-resolution images, historic video and audio files, manuscripts, journals, personal correspondence, and maps. With its specialized scope and deep collection of primary source materials, this resource is best suited to upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, and academic professionals. The narrow focus of this resource does limit its usability to those who primarily study maritime exploration, but those who do use Age of Exploration will delight in the hours of research they can devote to their areas of interest.
