We had a couple of great demonstrations from Cambridge University Press! We learned all about Cambridge Companions and Cambridge Histories. Recordings of both sessions are linked below! For more information, demos, trials or quotes, please reach out to Jeff Brunner or Julie Carlson!
Cambridge Companions are a series of authoritative guides, written by leading experts, offering lively, accessible introductions to major writers, artists, philosophers, topics, and periods.
Cambridge Core hosts the online collection of the printed series and includes over 650 Companions titles, over 4,000 essays, plus bibliographies and further reading. The first two titles in the Companions series were the Cambridge Companion to Shakespeare and the Cambridge Companion to Chaucer, which were both published in 1986 and have been updated with new editions. Since then, over 650 titles have been published with the intention not only to offer a comprehensive overview of their chosen topic, but to display and provoke lively and controversial debate.
Subjects include:Literature, Classics, Philosophy, Religion and culture, Music, Cultural studies

Cambridge Histories are a globally respected series of history books, authored by distinguished scholars. They offer a contextualized overview, suggesting how events are related to one another and presenting history as a continuous and evolutionary process. Because they offer a big picture perspective in each subject area, Cambridge Histories are an excellent place to begin research.
Subjects range widely across the humanities with a concentration on political and cultural history. Each volume includes authoritative narrative accounts by specialists and extensive bibliographic referencing.
Available sub-collections: American history, Ancient history and classical studies, Asian history, British and European history, Literature, Middle East and African studies, Music and theatre, Philosophy and political thought, Religion
