Cambridge Journals, a division of Cambridge University Press (CUP), US, has announced the launch of a digital archive featuring over 20,000 issues of academic journals published by CUP. The Cambridge Journals Digital Archive provides online access to over 160 journals from 1827 to 1996. The archive offers more than 20,000 issues, over 350,000 articles, over 3 million pages of content and over 8 million linked references. The archive is digitised using the latest interactive technology. All the content has been scanned from original published material and reproduced as high-resolution, searchable PDFs. Journal covers, content listings, prelims, plates and maps are reproduced in their entirety, providing a complete digital reproduction of the original journal.
The Digital Object Identifier System (DOI), which identifies content objects in the digital environment, is used for each article, and all references are created as HTML files. This helps facilitate full reference linking to the archive content using CrossRef, which is a system that connects users to primary research content, by enabling publishers to work collectively. Footnotes are also available in HTML, and Google Scholar book referencing provides links directly from the footnotes to detailed author information.
The Cambridge Journals Digital Archive is available in its entirety, as a package of Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) archives
