New database trial: House of Commons Parliamentary Papers

The Library has secured access to a trial for the Proquest database House of Commons Parliamentary Papers (HCPP). According to Proquest and available at the HCPP site or our own trial database page, the "HCPP are the most detailed primary source for the past two centuries, for Britain, its colonies and the wider world. They are a major part of the historical record. The Parliamentary papers influenced public opinion and social and political philosophy, and provided a forum for ideas for hundreds of thinkers, among them Marconi, Keynes, and Beveridge." The trial password is hcpp2009 and is active through 03/24/2009.
