Subject: Three new databases


Hi,

We have three new primary sources databases added permanently to our collections thanks to the Virtual Library of Virginia partnership (VIVA)<https://secure-web.cisco.com/1DiViZm_vs-0BTj6DuFBHaovbSTik6gN4ZLMKCJQ1VYtuNRda4LRnwaaAn5NCt-Ff6vzyoJmQCRPeAJHqOKCfeAx3X0bd5IU-ZIvy980fgRPg3xIUfeMIYjnSy4SBiwS6FYkRGVLZmhc7E2Nze_olTUep4yCtwWj2dU5-CqywVaXVcWFLnRvD1MC4NT1yO_Vcyo8BZRYCA7R7hgBHleq3CHaMzWHFnIbK-Epn1StDBA_emkhqG7gDs3uX30fRIdsHoqrzozDaw9BBdvpqkVsmTnSmAa9GViI_zZxiHb8-8W0f3RBEW4SnZCeX_9ah6kJZqWZUTQxcbMwb-HTn3sQjmy-7xMtw2dIDtFI3wcXRc1WsgRJ5lnSZouDH8RIb6wq8TFRJ7ItFynBna5st_t8GgUSdXrVulFhSH7gXDj1l8LWEneVMJp7b6RWBnfd9ti-n/https%3A%2F%2Fvivalib.org%2Fviva%2Fhomepage>. The links and descriptions of the resources, one is from the company Gale, and two are from Readex, is below. Both are excellent specialized collections purchased with support from SCHEV’s Fund for Excellence and Innovation. These databases are available to all VIVA institutions across the state. They are listed in the “database finder” under History: https://infoguides.gmu.edu/az.php?s=27308 I will add them to my primary source guides soon.  Hope these can be useful to you.



Thanks,
George
