We have three new titles from Rotunda that we will be demonstrating at the 2013 ACRL conference in April. Please visit us at Booth #640.
People of the Founding Era
The latest addition to our American Founding Era collection, this resource provides biographical information for thousands of individuals active during a crucial period in our history. Beginning with 12,000 but eventually expanding to over 60,000 people born between 1713 and 1815, the subjects include members of many of the most important families of the era, as well as many people—including artisans, slaves, and Native Americans—whose lives are not typically documented in historical archives. Historians, genealogists, and all students of American history will find this the most authoritative biographical dictionary of the period.

SAH Archipedia
The Society of Architectural Historians’ Buildings of the United States series is one of the most valuable resources for a comprehensive view of each state’s most notable buildings. Now ROTUNDA brings this content online in this richly illustrated, peer-reviewed digital resource. Including over 11,000 entries in its first installment, SAH Archipedia features all of the material from the print edition plus exclusive online content, with over 8,000 illustrations (many in color), mapping functionality, and a powerful XML-based search.
The Digital Temple
George Herbert’s The Temple is considered one of the finest collections of devotional verse in the English language and among the most significant works of early modern literature. The Digital Temple brings together the primary materials essential to the study of Herbert’s English verse and presents them in a user-friendly online environment. This digital edition includes complete diplomatic and normalized transcriptions of the two known manuscripts of The Temple, in addition to a copy of the 1633 first edition. The 700 pages of high-resolution scans include each document in its entirety. For more information, read this.
